A family in Evans was displaced after lightning sparked a house fire, and crews also battled another fire along Boy Scout Road today as the area deals with severe weather risk. With a high near 97°F and thunderstorms expected later this afternoon, residents should stay weather-aware and have a plan in case of lightning strikes. On a lighter note, local nonprofits are stepping up with a back-to-school backpack giveaway in Augusta to help families prepare for the new school year.
