LIGHTNING STRIKES ANCIENT ENGLISH CHURCH

Severe storms hit southern England and blasted an ancient church so old it's recorded in the Domesday Book:
A 12th century church has been severely damaged by a lightning strike as thunderstorms lashed the south of England.

Lightning left a gaping hole after hitting the spire of St Andrew's Church in the West Sussex village of Tangmere, near Chichester, at around midday, blowing out all but one of its stained-glass windows.

To everyone's great relief no one was injured as the English don't bother using churches any more.
