Pillar of Fire Seen in Ashland County Weather
In Ashland County on a hot Wednesday a fiery whirlwind swept through Sharp farm five miles from Ashland. The flaming column lifted leaves and branches, scorched a team and hay, and set a house, a wheat field, and woods ablaze. It traveled about a mile per hour, then crossed toward the Cumberland river where it rose into the sky and faded after burning trees along its path. Witnesses describe a strange, persistent flame as the event ended with still burning timber.
