VIDEO: While many in the Valley enjoyed the lightning show, at least one Phoenix homeowner is dealing with the fallout of last night's storm after their home caught fire. Fire officials with the Phoenix Fire Department said a possible lightning strike may have been the cause of a house fire near 32nd Street and Campbell Avenue. Firefighters responded to the two-story home around 10:30 p.m. Fire officials say early reports indicated a lightning strike hit the home and flames were visible coming from the roof. A neighbor told firefighters that "it was the loudest bang he ever heard." Firefighters attacked the fire from an aerial position on the exterior of the home and quickly put out the flames.
