Woodstock) - Lightning can strike in many different ways, a fact that the Ruggeri family from Woodstock have learned the hard way.
Lighting landed near their new home at about four o'clock this morning and managed to damage their foundation.
The lighting that started the fire at the Ruggari home didn't hit the house directly, but it pounded the house as it made it's way along the landscape.
The lighting actually came in from underground to hit the foundation.
The Ruggeri's smelled smoke fifteen to twenty minutes after the lightning storm passed and called 9-1-1.
The first crews arrived within seven minutes
