Driven out in middle of the night by lightning, a 70 year old lady packed her bags and immediately left her house of Lussas-and-Nontronneau (Dordogne). A ball of fire, due a strange stormy phenomenon that Météo France is acknowledges the be unable to explain, flew over the village, before penetrating in the old lady's house, without, curiously, causing any fire. "Suddenly, one could see as in full daylight, explains the mayor, Rene Dubreuil. The ball of fire pierced the roof, crossed the attic and stopped in the kitchen, destroying everything." "It is too weird, I do not want to live here anymore," said the retired lady. As quickly as she said that, she did it: without awaiting firemen and experts, she made her luggage and left to go to her nephew's.
