Rain and lightning devastate Frederick farm and disrupt parade
Thunderstorm Saturday sent heavy rain across Frederick and nearby counties. A bolt struck the Walter E Crum farm near Walkersville destroying a large barn and its contents with an estimated loss of 10 000 to 12 000 dollars. Lightning also hit a gasoline pump at Harmony Grove, destroying a motor. The storm disrupted a Knights of Pythias parade and caused power outages as Potomac Edison reported blown transformer fuses and lines downed by wind. Nearby, rescue crews saved outbuildings and a horse from the Crum property while a dog perished in the barn fire. A separate ambulance transported Emmett Dyer to Frederick City Hospital after a punctured lung from a farm accident.
