Lightning Strikes Vernon High Amid Ongoing Area Rainfall
Rain continued across 15 counties in the 23rd district as relief loans under public law 38 were designated through June 1958 at 3 percent. The storm caused 2.7 to 7 inches of rain, damaged the high school chimney and roof, threatened a lake dam, and drowned bottom land near East Fork bridge with more rain reported in Patoka later.
