episode_narrativeA lightning strike of a natural gas line in Jim Thorpe caused a fire beneath the Pennsylvania State Route 903 Inter-Borough Bridge. The fire forced the closure of the bridge and a voluntary evacuation of nearby residents in a nursing home and on Front Street. Pennsylvania Power and Light crew shut off the meters to individual customers and the gas line itself. About 1,000 homes lost their gas supply. The fire then burned itself out at 1245 a.m. EDT on the 16th. Elsewhere in Jim Thorpe, another lightning strike occurred so close to one home that the ensuing thunder shook the home so violently that a picture flew off the wall. The picture landed on a woman and caused head and shoulder bruises.
