Lightning Streak Strikes West Graham Homes in Lightning Prank
A Tuesday evening lightning streak in west Graham struck an electric light pole in front of F. T. Wall on Highland Avenue then hit the coal house of Mr. French across the street. The bolt knocked splinters onto the French porch and jolted Fd Nash and Charley Girls, with Gills receiving the worst shock. Mrs. French narrowly escaped as she had just left the coal house. Several others were blinded or slightly shocked but no serious injuries were reported. The strike cut power to the area by hitting the pole.
