Winds topple church tent during Bedford County revival, 1 dead and 22 injured
A large tent collapsed at EastLake Community Church during a weeklong revival in Bedford County, Va., after gusty winds from thunderstorms. One person died at the scene and 22 were hurt (11 hospitalized, 11 treated on-site). The tent had passed a safety inspection days earlier; authorities and first responders provided aid as widespread storms caused power outages and downed trees. Political leaders offered condolences; the incident disrupted a community event celebrating the church's 20th anniversary.
