(CHRISTIANA TN) Storms that swept through Rutherford County around 11:15AM Easter Sunday brought winds and bolts of lightning that struck a home on Zepher Court, just off Round Rock Road, and near Barfield Crescent Road.

Quick work from a neighbor had the fire extinguished before units from Rutherford County Fire Rescue and Christiana arrived.

First responders said that only smoke was in the residence when they arrived.

Firefighters discovered a hole in the roof, and with the heavy rainfall--even more damage was done to the home. Crews assisted the residents with covering the hole in the roof to prevent further damage from the rain.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

A special thanks to Rutherford County Fire Rescue, Christiana Fire Department, Rutherford County Emergency Medical Service, and Rutherford County Sheriffs Office for making the difference with another family on Easter Sunday.
