A lightning bolt strike caused a fire in the attic of a Miami-Dade home, according to officials.
The fire happened at 5435 Southwest 97th Court around 6 a.m., according to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
Homeowner Hiram Rodriguez said a lightning bolt struck his house and caused an explosion. He said there weren't a lot of flames but there was a big explosion.
Although there were three people in the house at the time, there were no injuries, officials said.
The house sustained moderate damage from the lightning strike, a common occurrence in this part of South Florida, officials said.
