Recent wave of lightning strikes has Cape Coral neighbors on edge

"Sometimes the lightning would flash and boom all at the same time. So it was just intense and close," said Cape Coral resident Jerry Snow.

The recent stretch of storms is making people like Jerry Snow nervous.

"It was intense," said Snow.

Around 8:43 Tuesday night, most of the storm lingered over Cape Coral, producing 108 strikes in a 15-minute period.

"The boom was so loud. It just felt like the whole house shook," said Cape Coral resident Sandra Macias.

Sandra Macias also found herself in the heart of the storm Tuesday night in Southwest Cape Coral.

"That flash came through, I checked the app and saw, oh wow. It just struck like right on top of my house," said Macias.

Thankfully, there was no damage to her home. However, it's another reminder of how dangerous Florida's summer storms can be.

On Tuesday night, the Cape Coral Fire Department says crews responded to at least three calls where people claimed lightning struck their home.

"We also responded to a couple of different grass fires and a couple of tree fires that had been caused by lightning strikes as well," said Andrea Schuch with the Cape Coral Fire Department.

Schuch says there are a few ways to see if lightning hit your home.

"We've seen where cinder block have been blown out from the force of the lightning. There may be a burnt patch on the roof or another area of the home," said Schuch.

If lightning is in your neighborhood, stay indoors, and avoid water and anything connected to an electrical outlet.
