The north country woke up to thunderstorms Wednesday morning and apparently the lightning damaged a windmill blade in Lewis County.
A picture of the damage was taken by the folks at Moser’s Mapleridge Farm on Wilson Road in the town of Denmark.
They told 7 News they believe the lightning made a hit on the windmill and weakened it. It was a little later, as the turbine was spinning, that the top piece fell off.
