Lightning Strikes in Somerton

Lightning struck hard in the Desert Southwest, igniting a backyard palm tree and quickly devouring a cherished shed filled with family heirlooms—just as Terry Smith was boarding a flight. His sons, home alone, escaped to a neighbor’s house thanks to quick thinking and a heroic retired firefighter who arrived before the fire department. Though the shed was lost and the family mourns the irreplaceable memories inside, the main house stands—and everyone is safe. A powerful reminder: storms move fast, but community can save the day.
