It was a wild evening for weather across much of southern Ontario, including Waterloo Region.
Severe storms rolled through the area, resulting in thunder, lightning and heavy downpours.
Regional Police say a lightning strike caused a house fire on Black Cherry Street – that’s in the Columbia Forest area of northwest Waterloo.
The blaze broke out around 8:30, but everyone got out safely.
The fire was contained to the attic, and no damage figure is available.
In the province’s southwest, around Windsor and Chatham-Kent, a tornado watch was issued, although it’s not believed any tornadoes touched down.
