The UK’s Telegraph loves a viral video (don’t we all!?) and shared this homespun clip of lightning striking a house in north Wales on Wednesday 12 August 2020.

A camera captured lightning striking a house in northern Wales on Wednesday.

Donna Tizzard and her daughter were filming the weather from their nearby window when it happened.

It is thought the lightning struck an aerial on the outside of the house in Wrexham.

There were severe thunderstorms in Wales on Wednesday.

The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms after the heatwave.
