No people or animals were hurt Wednesday after lightning struck a Buda area home, leading to a blaze that significantly damaged the structure.

The incident happened around 2 p.m. in the 1400 block of Coldstone Hollow in the Whispering Hollow Subdivision. Helping to extinguish the blaze were the Buda and Kyle Fire Departments.

Gary Gagnon, a Whispering Hollow resident, said he and his family were about to enter their home when lighting struck the house directly across the street from them.
