WOLFEBORO, N.H. —Strong thunderstorms moved through the Granite State on Thursday, bringing a lot of lightning, with some strikes hitting buildings.

A home on Diamond Cove Way in Wolfeboro was destroyed when lightning struck a nearby tree and traveled to the house.

Officials said the residents escaped safely, and a family cat was found alive in the basement.

One firefighter was taken to the hospital where he was treated and released.

Lightning also struck the Sugar Hill post office on Thursday.

Officials said the strike shorted out the electrical system, destroyed a computer and other devices inside. In all, the strike caused about $10,000 in damage.



How could a destroyed house only have $10k in damage?
