2 homes struck by lightning during passing storm

Scattered thunderstorms swept through Southern New England Thursday night, leaving behind damage in some areas.

 

Just before 9 p.m., crews in East Providence responded to a home on Henry Street for a report of a lightning strike.

 

A doorbell camera across the street captured the moment the bolt struck the home.

 

East Providence police said no flames were visible when crews arrived, but the cement on the outdoor front steps was broken, and the siding on the house was charred.
