Mill Village storm toll rises as body recovered
Three youths died when a gale driven blaze swept Mill Village. One body washed ashore near the storm wreckage, authorities say others remain missing. Fire damage totaled seven store buildings and a dwelling as crews battled the blaze through high winds. Authorities blame incendiary or unextinguished stoves for the fire. Local officials and residents mourn the tragedy amid a broader Erie area storm that caused extensive property damage and knocked out lines across cities including Crawford and Ridgeway. The three victims were Rascal Haughton of Meadville, Craig Mortte of Ridgway, and Gillert Conn of Pittsburgh.
