Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:20 p.m. on August 3, 1993, Employee #1 (the employer), and his two-man crew were finishing framing the second floor roof on a house under construction. Without warning a thunderstorm accompanied by high winds of 70 miles per hour or more swooped in from the north and blew the whole house structure upward and then downward. The second floor collapsed onto the ground, crushing and killing Employee #1 between the ground floor and the wooden substructure.
