On Wednesday 27/04/2016 at 5:30pm, the weather suddenly changed from being very sunny to being cloudy and dark and it was quite evident it was going to rain very heavily. My dad was sitting outside receiving fresh air when a great lightening accompanied with the loudest thunderstorm I've heard all my life struck. It was so severe that my dad nearly felt the impact of it because it happened right before him. He came inside the house and called our names to be sure we were safe.
The next thing we heard were the voices of people calling to alert us of fire which had caught a coconut tree close to our fence at the backyard. At that time, the rain had already begun pouring without mercy and the fire wasn't giving any sign it was going to stop. Some part of the tree started falling into the compound with fire stuck to it. We tried to quench each of them as they fell and by God's grace, the fire stopped after the rain fell for just 20minutes but the lightening killed the coconut tree instantly.
I only saw things like this in Nollywood movies and never thought I would see it in reality. Pls, let's make sure we take safety precautions during rainy periods by putting off our appliances and if possible switching everything off from the central point.
Has anyone experienced this before?

The witches of that land are working

I didn't know it catches fire when it strikes but I have witnessed lightening kill a tree. I wasn't at home when the lightening struck but when I got back, half of the tree was dead and half was alive. It still remains a mystery to me though
