CENTER TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A Butler County house caught fire Thursday morning after being struck by lightning.
Witnesses told Channel 11's Damany Lewis there had been about five minutes of severe weather before the home was hit.
"My mother said, 'Oh my Go,d the house is on fire.' I stood up and I saw a lady running down the driveway," a neighbor said.
