A powerful storm swept through the area late Tuesday night, toppling a massive 115-foot replica of the Statue of Liberty and leaving residents stunned by the scale of the destruction. Fierce winds and heavy rain battered the landmark for hours before it finally gave way, collapsing onto nearby grounds as emergency crews rushed to secure the scene. No injuries were immediately reported, but authorities said the damage was extensive.
The towering replica, a popular local attraction and roadside symbol, had stood for years and was visible from miles away. Witnesses described hearing a loud, thunderous crash as the structure fell, followed by sparks and debris scattered across the surrounding area. “It felt like an earthquake,” one resident said, adding that the storm was unlike anything they had seen before.
