Lightning strike displaces Woodside couple

Original post made on Oct 25, 2017

Two red-letter dates mark Marie and Bob Holmes' calendar: Sept. 11, the day lightning struck and exploded a redwood tree, sending large spear-like splinters through their roof and laundry room, making their Woodside house uninhabitable; and Nov. 13, when Alice's Restaurant in Skylonda is hosting a fundraiser to cover the repairs the couple can't afford.

Hi Marie and Bob, Marie hope your foot and hand are healing up. That was very scary! We all heard the loud boom and crack and just froze in our house waiting to hear where the tree would go down, very scary, did not know which way to run. Could have been any one of us. So sorry but glad you were not seriously hurt. Will see you at the fundraiser. Best, Denise
