Fortunately, she was away in Cambridge at the time. Upon returning, Liz found her house without power and many essential devices completely destroyed, including her television, music system, and internet equipment. She believes the lightning likely hit her aerial, triggering a chain reaction of damage. “My neighbour texted me saying my house had been hit by a lightning bolt and my alarm was going off — even though I hadn’t set it,” Liz recounted.
