    I am a claims adjuster at The Trust on Wampanoag Trail, EP and am wondering if you have lightning data for a strong storm late afternoon on Sunday … it is believed that there was a lightning strike at or near Scituate High School on Trimtown Road around 3-4 pm and I am trying to confirm that.

    Any assitance you can provide would be appreciated.
