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.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\">\n<div id=\"ternalnews.com_responsive_2\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23201474937\/ternalnews.com\/ternalnews.com_responsive_2_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>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. \u201cIt felt like an earthquake,\u201d one resident said, adding that the storm was unlike anything they had seen before.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">\n<div id=\"anchorslot\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p>Local officials confirmed that the storm system produced wind gusts strong enough to knock out power across multiple neighborhoods, uproot trees, and damage buildings. Engineers are now assessing whether structural weaknesses contributed to the collapse or if the extreme weather alone was responsible. The site has been cordoned off as a safety precaution while inspections continue.<\/p>\n<p>Cleanup efforts are expected to take several days, and the future of the iconic replica remains uncertain. City leaders say they will evaluate whether the statue can be restored or if it must be permanently removed. For many locals, the fallen landmark marks a dramatic reminder of the storm\u2019s force\u2014and the sudden loss of a familiar symbol from the skyline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":46188,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 -
