So the family converges in the kitchen to talk about how crazy that lightning clap was and to check whether anyone was hurt. We grabbed flashlights just in case and proceeded more or less as normal.
The next morning my dad goes out to do some morning chores in the yard and he comes back in kinda grim-faced. "Everyone needs to come see this."

The torrential downpour put out the fire before very long, as near as we could tell. We were so very lucky.
