Louisiana Man Hilariously Describes Lightning Strike During Recent Storm

As storms swept across south Louisiana on Friday afternoon, a number of places in Acadiana reported and witnessed damage.

News 15 went to Grand Couteau to report on the damage there after a tree fell on a car, and they found an eyewitness to the incident.

One man described hearing the lightning strike a tree and he is so animated by what happened that he has become the story.

He tells the reporter for News 15 that he opened the door to the house to see what was going on and that's when he heard "A Boom." He says that he thought someone may have been shooting.

Then the homeowner describes hearing the tree crack soon after the lightning strike.

As you'll see in the report here, his friends had a hard time holding back the laughs as he spoke to News 15.

A large tree fell on a portion of the house and the car as a line of storms pushed south on early Friday afternoon.

Here's the report and the man describing what happened in Grand Coteau.
