STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
[Welland Tribune, 12 September 1902]
During the severe thunder storm that struck this section about eight o’clock on Wednesday morning, the grain warehouse owned by Mr. R. Cooper, near the G.T.R. station, was struck by lightning and considerable damage done. The flash struck the ridge of the roof at the east end of the building, separated, making a large rip on each side of the building, then passed along the eave trough to the ground. Fortunately the building did not take fire and the roof is really heavily insured. The upper storey however was filled with grain.
