Twenty cattle were saved after lightning struck at a farm in Lower Austria.

Eleven fire brigades consisting of 130 men managed to herd the animals out of the barn just in time. The fire fighters also ensured that the flames would not spread to the adjacent house of the farming family.

No one was injured during the occurrences in Reinberg-Litschau yesterday afternoon (Thurs), local police said today.
