Peter Crosa of Atlanta, Ga. received an assignment for lightning damage to an insured’s ceiling and roof.

Two oblong holes, about 6 inches in diameter, burnt clean through the roof, ceiling, floors, framing and all with no subsequent debris. Ever play with a magnifying glass when you were a kid?
The scene conjured images of space aliens with lasers, but Crosa settled with the insured on the basis of lightning damage.
