Holy Boulder!!

Last night at 10:30 a boulder the size of a firetruck tore through the small town of Athens, Ohio. The boulder broke loose from the top of a hill and rolled straight towards the town. As it rolled it took down power lines, crushed cars, damaged an underground water line and ruined one home. The women that owned the home said that she thought it was thunder at first. As she looked out her window she could see sparks flying and thought it was lightning. Luckily when the boulder hit the house the family was towards the back side of the house other wise someone could have been crushed under it. The rest of the town was evacuated because they aren't sure how stable the rest of the boulders are. To remove the boulder their going to have to break it apart and carry it away piece by piece because of how massive the boulder is.
