A storm in Grand Isle, Maine, on Wednesday night sent a powerful bolt of lightning through the St. Gerard-Mount Carmel Parish. 

 

The incredible sight was caught on camera by 16-year-old Carl Bouley.

 

According to the Grand Isle fire chief, the same church was hit by lightning in 2007, WCSH reported. This time, some shingles were knocked off the church and there is some electrical damage to the wiring inside.

 

A couple of homes near the church also received some electrical damage.
