Lightning struck a tree and started a fire in the attic of the nearby house. The damage from the fire was limited to the attic, but smoke damage to bedrooms on the upper level made the house uninhabitable until repairs were made. Firefighters were on the scene for about 2 hours.
A fatal accident occurred during a thunderstorm with heavy rain south of Whitehall. Authorities believe weather was a factor in the head-on two vehicle crash. One person was killed with the other driver sustaining serious injuries.
