Lightning hit my house
Can't find the point of entry from the exterior, but it struck the master bedroom walk-in closet. Tore that shit up!
Metal wire shelves looked like they exploded from the walls and flew across to hit the opposite wall, softball size hole blew out of the drywall with a nice burn mark. Metal nails popped out like shrapnel, one went through a wall.
About an hour earlier, there was a fully loaded handgun on the shelf. Good thing it was removed!
I was able to salvage the wiring for that room, thankfully. Drywall, painting, and shelving needs to be redone this Sunday. Wow.
