Prince William County, Va. –– Those lightning strikes that rolled through the Woodbridge area last night did more than leave rolling thunder and rain-soaked pavement in their wake – the knocked out the electricity to one home near Montclair.
Fire and rescue crews were called to a home at 15644 Piedmont Place off Cardinal Drive in Woodbridge.
No one was injured, but the lightning knocked out the power in the home, said Prince William fire and rescue spokesman Joseph Robertson.
With no lights, the family stayed overnight with neighbors, according to reports from the scene.
A line of storms moved through the region last night about 7 p.m. Wednesday night.
The National Weather Service posted a severe thunderstorm watch for the area, but none of the storms ever became severe.
As we look to the weekend we may go from lightning and thunder to snow.
Temperatures are forecast to be in the low 30s on Saturday night into Sunday morning, and with rain moving in overnight some snow could develop, forecasters say.
