Lightning Strikes Lake Home In Hoosick Falls
A cottage at Hedges Lake owned by George Scott was struck by lightning injuring occupants and causing extensive damage. The bolt traveled from a nearby tree through the television aerial, blowing fuses, shattering windows, and scorching interiors as Mr and Mrs Scott and their three sons prepared to move in. Walter Davendonis and his family were also present assisting with plumbing when the strike occurred, with some children hurt by flying glass.
