LIGHTNING FROM LAST NIGHT’S BIG RAIN SET ONE ALBUQUERQUE NORTHEAST HEIGHTS HOME ON FIRE. CREWS WERE SENT TO THE 2-THOUSAND BLOCK OF JUNE AROUND 8PM SUNDAY, WHERE A TREE HAD BEEN HIT BY LIGHTNING, WHICH IN TURN IGNITED THE ROOF OF THE HOUSE.
A NEIGHBOR HAD ALREADY STARTED WETTING DOWN THE TREE WHEN FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE ROOF AND NO ONE WAS INJURED.
