Officials Say Building Fire May Be Result Of Lightning
WEST VIRGINIA....
Cabell County firefighters battled more than flames Thursday morning when responding to a fire in Huntington as storms ripped through the region. The structure fire was reported just before 1:30 A.M. at the 500 block of Eighth Avenue. Firefighters located the fire on the top floor of a three-story building. No injuries were reported. However, officials say the fire may have been started by a lightning strike. Nearly 38,000 people were without power statewide after severe thunderstorms moved through northern and southern West Virginia Wednesday evening.
