Lightning Strike Destroys Church in Canada
Built between 1880 and 1882, the church is listed in the Quebec Cultural Heritage Directory.
The roof caught fire quickly and the bell tower collapsed due to the intensity of the flames.
Strong winds complicated the work of the 70-plus firefighters deployed from several nearby towns.
The convent, school and presbytery adjacent to the church were not affected by the fire.
