Lightning destroys barn and threatens town in Wyoming
The James Young property barn occupied by Albert Hutton near Northeast Wyoming was struck by lightning before dawn Monday, burning fiercely and destroying the structure along with hundreds of bushels of corn hay harness and other goods. Rescue efforts failed to save the barn though most livestock were saved. The bolt shattered windows in nearby homes, and residents noted the blast as among the loudest in years.
