Another weather related tragedy hit Edgerton last night. Edgerton is a small town just inside Ohio in western Williams County. Lightning apparently struck the Methodist Church on Rt. 49 during a storm last night. I don't know many of the details. I saw a photo on the front page of the local paper as I was gettin my morning coffee fix. The caption said they had few details at press time
I decided to take a short road trip to see for myself. Here are some of the photos I shot as I walked around the building behind the yellow tape.
I got there around 9 AM. Bryan's ladder truck was about to leave the scene. One of Edgerton's pumpers was still hooked up to a hydrant.
Several years ago, a microburst destroyed Edgerton's old town hall. A couple years later, a wind gust blew over a masonry wall at a school building, killing a worker . . . and now this. Old buildings are irreplaceable.
