Lightning's queer freaks report from storm
The Philadelphia Record notes numerous odd lightning incidents from a recent nor’easter in Maya and Clayton New Jersey. A sign painter near Landisville was blinded briefly after a bolt touched his neck and a dog on his lap and died instantly. Walter Keen found a hole under his foot from a bolt that left no rug mark. A 10 by 36 inch window pane blew out in Keen’s home but glass stayed intact elsewhere after the strike melted putty. Glacier’s tree in North Clayton lost all leaves yet remained standing. A lightning cord shaped like an accordion platted skirt appeared on a McWilliams cellar wall. A bolt filled Harry Dessler’s cellar with smoke but left no trace. Lightning struck a walnut tree and stripped its leaves without further damage. A poultry-yard fence shock reached Mrs Francis Hill, leaving her still recovering.
