Those same neighbors told the fire marshal the homeowners that nothing connected to electricity was left on in the home, so they don’t know what caused the fire; they speculated it may have been caused by lightning strikes during Tuesday’s thunderstorms. The house is a total loss: the roof is entirely gone and other parts of the structure were caved in. This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
