In the midst of Saturday afternoon's major storm, Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to reports of an incident at a property in Birchmore around 3.20pm.

Lightning had struck the property, damaging the electrical supply into the home.

One crew from Much Wenlock attended the scene, as well as workers from a utilities company.

Fire officers said they carried out an inspection of the property, as well as a 'thorough external inspection' of the neighbouring homes, and were at the scene until around 6pm.
