One Bolt in Town Hits Bath During Severe Storm
A major thunderstorm swept Bath on Saturday morning with heavy rain and vivid lightning along the main line. In Winneganee the storm’s southern edge moved through while George W. Rittall’s brick residence on upper Washington Street suffered a direct strike damaging shingles, a 6x6 beam, ceiling, and electrical fuses, with smoke and gas filling the room. The bolt also silenced the yard wireless gear and cut power to lights. Rittall, long wary of storms, has endured lightning in the past at Al Minott’s home.
