Lightning strike sparks windmill fire, Shipwreck found in Lake Michigan, and severe weather claimed Italy’s 'Lovers’ Arch'

from AccuWeather Daily · host AccuWeather

Video shows a windmill burning in Stephens County, Texas after storms moved through the area Saturday. Local firefighters say lightning likely caused the fire. Plus, the Lac La Belle sank during a storm in 1872 and was lost to the lake for more than a century. Now a shipwreck hunter says the wreck has finally been found. And, powerful storms and pounding waves eroded the iconic rock formation along Puglia’s Salento coast, toppling the beloved romantic landmark over Valentine’s Day weekend.
