As powerful thunderstorms swept through North Texas Sunday night, many people got the shock of a lifetime. In Prosper, Vittal Kale sat in his dining room and remembers feeling somewhat uneasy as the wind, rain and thunder intensified at about 10:45 p.m. “I was like something is wrong, something is wrong and then it hit,” said Kale on Monday afternoon. “I saw the lightning. The bright light came in the kitchen as I was sitting in the dining room, I saw it right there and I grabbed a couple things and ran out. But, at least I’m glad that I’m OK and good thing that my kids and family were out of town, so they are safe.” Kale was waiting for his insurance adjuster to arrive, but his house on Remington Drive in Prosper appears to be a total loss. A spokesperson for the town’s fire department tells NBC 5 that mutual aid from Frisco, Celina, Aubrey and Little Elm fire departments responded to the neighborhood late Sunday night, because Prosper firefighters were already battling another house fire, which required firefighters to rescue four dogs inside.
