Correction: Apparently, this news account is from June of 2023 when this church was struck and destroyed by lightning.

Sadly, it appears another historic #church has been reduced to rubble by a #lightning strike—this time in #Boston. Hard to fathom why a lightning protection system was never installed to prevent this type of devastating loss https://t.co/2ztd7ucLrb

Lightning hit old St Paul’s Cathedral in 1561 and the spire went up in flames. The lead roof melted and the great bells crashed from the tower. Many in London saw it as an omen.

We've rolled into June, which starts the peak of lightning and lightning fatality season in the United States.

As you spend more time outside, remember these things:

* There is no place outside that is safe during a thunderstorm
* When thunder roars, go indoors

A 20-year-old man in Florida was struck and killed by lightning while kayaking yesterday.

This is the 2nd known fatality in the U.S. in 2026 and 100th in Florida since 2006.

Boating is the 3rd deadliest activity with respect to lightning.
