A house was hit by lightning Thursday in Beaconsfield and was destroyed by the ensuing fire.
Afterthought: Does this count as an “act of God” in insurance terms?

Weird. Same thing happened in Longueuil yesterday. I don’t have a link because I saw it on FB in the Longueuil FB group.

You’d think that if you owned an expensive house made of tinder sticks you’d install a lightning rod.
(With so many trees around it, it seems unlikely the house itself will get hit, but a tree is a much better insulator than a wet house. And highly unlikely is not *never*, and that’s why fools still play the lottery.)
