The strike at 12 Williams Drive didn't set off a fire, but did cause electrical problems in the home, officials said.
The incident was reported at 3:54 p.m. and was the most serious from the storm, according to the city Fire Department.
Apparently, it wasn't the only lightning strike.
Dorothy Gray, who lives on Conley Drive, said lightning struck her home, although it didn't cause any damage. Gray, however, said the noise scared her quite a bit.
"When I heard that loud boom, I thought the house had caved in," she said.
The thunderstorm was touched off by a frontal system that moved into the area from the Ohio Valley and collided with cold air over the region, according to the National Weather Service. Rainfall at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport measured 0.78 inches.
The Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. reported fewer than 200 outages from the storm in the county, and the vast majority had power restored by 11 p.m.
There's a chance for more rain tomorrow night into Monday, but today should be clear, with temperatures a few degrees above normal. The mercury will dip slightly as rain starts tomorrow.
