"As soon as the storm had spent its fury Miss Owens noticed the hardware store crumple in and burst into flames. She had just left her father a few minutes before.

They had come downtown to work together. She escaped injury and her first thoughts were of her father. She ran across the square but as she approached the hardware store she was hurled back by flames leaping high in the air and through the shattered windows. Bat she caught a glimpse of her father, his chest crushed by a falling wall and the flames licking at his body."
