Pam Kest was leaving Way Public Library in Perrysburg Tuesday when she saw a flash of lightning and heard a loud boom, drove around a corner, and saw the cross atop the St. Rose Catholic Church steeple go up in flames.
"Then five minutes later, I saw the cross fall," Ms. Kest, 48, of Maumee, said.

"It was scary," she said awhile later as she and dozens of onlookers watched firefighters use three aerial ladders to douse the smoking steeple at 215 E. Front St. in Perrysburg.
Authorities said lightning struck a rod on the cross about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, setting the cross ablaze.
