EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) -- Residents in West El Paso found the aftermath of lightning striking near their home on Thursday, Aug. 28.

Video shows a palm tree on fire, along the intersection of Cortijo Drive and El Risco Street, after lightning struck it.

A child can be heard in the video saying, "It (thunder) was very loud," and a woman answering, "I know, that was loud."
