| episode_narrative | Lightning struck the steeple of Saint Mary's Roman Catholic Church and toppled a large chunk of the pillar through the roof and destroyed pews and the church's pipe organ. The lightning bolt traveled from the steeple through the roof and exited a stain glass window which melted. A five foot long 1200 pound concrete piece of the steeple crashed through the roof and landed on the choir loft and smashed a 40-year-old organ. A second chunk plunged through the roof, the ground floor and into the basement where it damaged several pews. Repairs were expected to take up to three months to complete and damage was estimated at $50,000. |
