After the impact of the atmospheric phenomenon, sparks could be seen on the tiles of the apartment and apparently, some tiles fell down.

A British website reveals that despite the strength of the lightning, a spokesperson for the fire department assured that no one was injured in the incident.

Only a “minor damage” was recorded in the building and the fire started. A team on duty was sent to the spot.

“Teams across the district are dealing with many incidents involving lightning. Here’s what the Tolvadone crews visited this afternoon. Teams had difficulty locating the incident.

According to the LAD Bible, on Monday alone, more than 36,000 lightning strikes were recorded in the UK. Weather warnings continued on Tuesday (6/9) and will last until tomorrow, with a yellow storm warning in place for the south-west of the British Isles.

People in affected areas were warned that the storms could cause problems such as poor driving visibility, flooding, delays to train services and “some damage to buildings and structures by lightning or wind”.
