Church on fire

Last Wednesday there was a horrendous storm here. The storm even brought nickle-sized hail. I was working at the shell mart that night and had plenty of people pulling in off of the interstate to pack in under the awning. One old guy came inside to use the bathroom right before the hail hit, and then refused to leave until the storm died down, leaving his wife in the car at the pump. He was there for a good 20 minutes until the worst of it passed. The most devastating thing about this storm is that the church next to my girlfriend's house was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Some of it still stands as you'll see in this picture from the story by the State Journal Register. That's it behind the people and across the street. Apparently there was a picture on the Thursday edition's cover of the church on fire. I myself don't have a copy of it. Fortunately firefighters, most of which were volunteers, were able to control the fire and prevent it from spreading to her house.
