Tent collapses during Virginia church celebration, killing 1 and injuring 22

Article excerpt

A tent collapsed during an outdoor anniversary celebration at EastLake community church in Moneta, Virginia on Friday evening, killing one person and injuring 22 others. Heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds swept through the small community about 124 miles southwest of Richmond during the church's 20th anniversary service. The weather conditions, characteristic of severe thunderstorms, overpowered the tent structure, turning what should have been a milestone celebration into a tragedy.
