| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Lightning struck the roof of the Saylor park Apartments in Whitehall Township. It caused a fire that destroyed most of the third floor apartments. All of the remaining apartments were so badly damaged by smoke and water that all twelve apartments in the building were deemed uninhabitable. Elsewhere, lightning strikes caused about 3,700 homes and businesses in Allentown and Bethlehem to lose power. The thunderstorms were prolific cloud-to-ground lightning producers during the afternoon of the 6th. Between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. EDT about 2,500 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes occurred along the band of thunderstorms from lower Dutchess County, New York southwest through Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. |
