Narrative
On saturday may 12, 2018 lightning struck the residence located at 13004 s 29th street, bellevue, sarpy county, nebraska during a severe weather storm. It was the reasonable belief of the operator based on the information available at the time of the incident up until august 8, 2018 that the lightning strike caused a fire inside of the house followed by a secondary ignition at the meter set. Because this was believed to be a secondary ignition event, it was not reported to the nrc because the damage to the operators facilities did not exceed $50,000. The operator received additional information on august 8, 2018 from the nebraska state fire marshal that indicated that ignition at the meter set likely occurred concurrently with the fire that occurred inside of the house as a result of the lightning strike. Based on that information, the operator promptly reported the incident at 11:07 am that day. The 48-hour follow-up report was submitted at approximately 10:00 am on august 10, 2018 (nrc #1221114). On october 24, 2018 the gas service was restored to the residence. There is no further work needed at this location and this matter is now final.
