VIDEO: One east side neighborhood was cleaning up the shattered windows, tree branches, and fire damage left behind after Saturday night's storm.
The Tucson Fire Department fought the flames coming from one of those homes. Firefighters said it was sparked by lightning. Jane Appleby and her husband own the home that was burning.
“I was inside the house and my husband was outside. We heard a huge crash and the light. I went outside to make sure my husband was okay,” said Jane.
Jane noticed their house was on fire.
“We had the little fire in the living room, so that was just small and I put it out with a few cups of water and I didn’t realize we had a raging fire in the other room,” she explained.
Luckily, their neighbors were able to put out that fire. They said the scariest part for them was rescuing their cat.
