Storms keep fire departments busy

This from Martin Nowak:

This picture was taken by someone for me. During the storms on 4/17/2013 around 5 P.M. near the intersection of 77th Street and Roberts Road in Bridgeview, lightning struck a transformer.

This from Larry Shapiro:

Buffalo Grove firefighters were called to 414 Manchester Court just before 3PM for a reported structure fire. An apparent lightning strike caused a fire on the building’s exterior that extended slightly into the second floor. Here are a few images from the scene.
