"Our day yesterday was crying and then laughing," said McAllister, half of the Ben and Matt morning duo. "First you're trying to get your head around what's just happened to your home and the fact that you can't live there anymore. Then you're laughing, like, is this really happening to us?"
McAllister and fiancee Vanessa Gibbs moved into the Pinnacle Peak-area home three months ago with her two children.
Gibbs was home alone when lightning struck the 4,000-square-foot home. The bedroom and electrical system were essentially destroyed. There are cracks throughout the house, and the surge of electricity blew metal nails from the drywall.
McAllister has yet to tally the damage. Some furniture and all the electronics were damaged: "Basically, anything that was plugged in is now toast," he says.
There were no injuries.
