James,

My name is Bo Arthur and I live in Leesburg, AL on Lookout Mountain  Monday night around 8:30 my wife and I were sitting in our living room and heard a large boom outside after lightning had struck. We thought it hit the house but there was no smoke or damage so we went to bed. The next morning while mowing the yard I saw what looked to be rocks on top of my mailbox and assumed kids had laid them up there as a joke. So as I got closer and looked at my mailbox i noticed there was a large hole and below the brick I opened my mailbox to find a huge dent in the top. I believe that it was lightning that hit my mailbox. Check out the attached video and see what you think.
