BALDWIN, Pa., April 24 (UPI) -- A Baldwin, Pa., man says his house caught fire after it was struck by lightning for the second time in its history.

The home, which was built by his father, was previously struck by lightning when he lived there as a child, WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh reported Thursday.

The homeowner said a neighbor helped him escape the house after the most recent lightning strike Wednesday night and firefighters arrived to extinguish the blaze.
