| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Thunderstorms during the evening of June 1st caused havoc across Burlington County, New Jersey and nearby counties. Lightning sparked a house fire in Medford, which destroyed the home. No one at the home was hurt, however a Medford firefighter was taken to a nearby hospital as he suffered from dehydration. Also, a shed fire occurred in Mount Laurel on Hainesport-Mount Laurel Road, and a house fire occurred on Avon Court. Both fires were caused by lightning strikes, and both structures sustained severe damage. Meanwhile, two house fires occurred on King Avenue in Evesham when lightning struck a utility pole at 11:37 PM EDT, dropping a power line in front of both homes. This energized the water lines into each home and sparked small fires. There were no injuries reported and the dollar amount in damage was not available. Lightning strikes also damaged computer systems at the Burlington County Central Communications building and also at the National Weather Service Office in Mount Holly, NJ. Numerous wires were downed throughout Medford, Evesham and Mount Laurel from the intense cloud to ground lightning strikes. Some 60,000 customers were without power in Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties. |
