"Campbellsville, KY, is waking up to devastating news this morning, as an institution, founded in 1969 and a mainstay of the community, was destroyed by a lightning caused fire. Battle weary firefighters remain on the scene this morning, Friday, June 24, 2016, as insurance against the dying embers re-erupting and spreading. Fortunately, there was no loss of life last night, but the lightning strikes were a wake-up call to the fact that lightning is nature's deadliest danger." - Larry Smith
