Local Lightning Strike…”Oh, But For the Grace of God!” (PHOTOS)
Look at these dramatic photos of a direct lightning strike last night on a church in Preston, NY (just outside of Norwich in Chenango County). Nearby residents recall a red fireball hurtling itself at the church and then debris covering the road for a long stretch up to the Preston Fire House.
Luckily, no injuries were reported. Pretty dramatic photos, huh?
