Church Roof Ripped Off by Microburst | Columbus News

A devastating microburst tore through Newark, ripping the roof off the Church Triumphant and flooding the building—now declared unsafe. Thankfully, no one was inside when the storm hit. The church, which also houses the homeschool co-op YouSchool with 150+ families, faces a major setback as classes were set to resume next month. Yet, community support has been overwhelming, with local churches rallying around the congregation. Emergency crews restored power for most residents, cutting outages from 16,000 to under 3,000. Officials are now preparing a formal request for state relief funds to cover the extensive damage, while both pastor and school president emphasize that the true strength of their community lies in the people—not the building.
