Couple Escapes Injury After Lightning Strikes Tree
MADISON, NC (June 5, 2002) - Clay and Penny Barham, members of Kallam Grove
Christian Church in Madison, escaped injury after lightning struck an area
just outside their home last Saturday, Covenant News Service has learned.
Penny Barham is chair of the executive board of the Southeast Conference of
the Evangelical Covenant Church. She said that she and her husband were in
the basement of their home when lightning struck a tree near the house. The
electric force apparently traveled through the tree root network to the
house where the Barhams were standing inside the back door. The shock
knocked Penny to the floor and knocked Clay off balance. They were examined
at a hospital and released later.
The storm that struck Rockingham County and the Bethany community produced
some damage to large trees and other vegetation, but no serious injuries
were reported, Penny said.
