CHARLOTTE--Lightning from Sunday morning's storm sparked a house fire in southeast Charlotte.

Firefighters were called to the 300 block of Greengate Lane just before 8:00 a.m.

They arrived to find heavy smoke pouring from the house, but it took just 10 minutes to get the fire under control.

The woman who lives here was home when lightning struck and got out safely, but she'll need to find another place to stay.
