Trinity Lutheran Church, located on North Pine Street in Blue Hill was hit by a lightening strike this week. The cement block at the top of one of the pillars at the main entrance of the church was knocked loose. Pieces of masonary fell to the sidewalk below and the top block was moved and sits at an odd angle, but little other damage can be noted.
People living near the church and across town heard the loud thunder and crack as the storm produced the bolt that caused the damage. The area in front of the church has been marked with orange cones to warn of potentail falling debris from the damaged area.
The church recently received a new roof and work men spent a week or more on the roof. Equipment will have to be brought in again to repair the damage done by the lightening strike.
During the storm the area received some much needed moisture. Reports of the amount of rain received varied from .70 to an inch and a half.
