[QUOTE="RickN, post: 3606554, member: 8854"] [HEADING=2][SIZE=6]George Floyd mural crumbles after witnesses say lightning hit it[/SIZE][/HEADING] [HEADING=2]Mural, titled 'Take a Breath,' was created by local artist about one year ago [/HEADING] A mural in remembrance of [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/george-floyd']George Floyd[/URL] in [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/midwest/ohio']Toledo[/URL], Ohio, was reduced to rubble after a reported lightning strike. Witnesses told Toledo Police that a [URL='https://www.13abc.com/2021/07/13/george-floyd-mural-summit-lagrange-collapses/']lightning strike destroyed the mural[/URL], and doppler radar shows a [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/disasters/lightning']strike[/URL] hit at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday near where the mural was painted. Photos of the destruction show part of the brick wall reduced to rubble, with fragments of mural still remaining on the wall along its border. The piece, titled "Take a Breath," was created by local artist David Ross about one year ago in honor of Floyd, who was murdered in Minneapolis last Memorial Day by police officer Derek Chauvin. Ross said he received threats over the mural and speculated the destruction could have been caused by vandalism and not lightning. "When I did the mural, there was stuff on the wall that I couldn’t remove and that let me know how strong that structure was," [URL='https://www.toledoblade.com/local/city/2021/07/13/george-foyd-mural-in-toledo-crumbles/stories/20210713122']Ross told the Toledo Blade[/URL].
