| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Thunderstorms developed in a semi moist atmosphere along a cold front and occluded front in Northwest Illinois. A lone storm became strong enough to produce nickel hail in northeast Stephenson County. An hour earlier, a lightning strike severely damaged a chimney at a school south of Rock Falls, Illinois as students were being dismissed for the day. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Lightning struck the chimney of the Montmorency School south of Rock Falls while students were being dismissed for the day. Luckily the chimney was located in the back of the school and the school bus boarding area is in the front so there were no injuries. The chimney had to be toppled by a wrecking company that evening for safety reasons. Repairs from the lightning strike and subsequent damage to part of the roof and a boiler were briefly put on hold when asbestos was discovered in the damaged area. |
