THE old adage of lightning never striking twice in the same place was almost proved wrong on the Isle of Wight last night when three houses in the same road were hit.
The extraordinary incident happened in Fairfield Gardens, Lake, shortly after 11pm.
One property had a conservatory damaged and a television exploded. A tree in an adjacent property was then struck and a third house had electric cabling set light. No one was injured.
