Nobody was injured when a house on Hawks Landing Road in Haslet caught fire after a suspected lightning strike.
The storms that moved through North Texas Wednesday night put on an impressive lightning show. That lightning appears to have sparked a house fire in Haslet.
"This is my home," said John Hipolito, looking at the two-story house on Hawks Landing Road with firefighters surrounding it. "Kind of a tough night."
Hipolito said he was home watching television news storm coverage when the lightning hit.
"Heard a large bang, sounded like an explosion," he explained. "My son was up top, and he smelled the smoke and said, 'Hey Dad, it smells like something burning.'"

Lightning/Wall Cloud Photos from Todays Severe Thunderstorms (03/23/16)-Set 1 of 2 Hi everyone,Here are some of the best shots of today. I saw two wall clouds, but cells lined out fairly rapidly. I encountered mostly dime to nickel size hail along I-35, but there were up to quarter size stones in there. Nothing like the hail experience I had last week. The lightning was just sick!Kind regards,Keith

Hipolito called 911 and got his family safely out of the house.
The storms that moved through brought high winds, driving rain, hail and lightning. The National Weather Service received reports of golf ball-sized hail in East Plano.
Firefighters said they were investigating whether it was, in fact, lightning that caused the fire at the Haslet home.
Hipolito shook his head as he looked at the charred upstairs floor of his home and firefighter's ladder leading to the area.
