A structure on Morrow Road that was just recently rebuilt after being knocked down during a storm has collapsed once again.

A storm that passed through Friday evening was likely the cause of the collapse on Morrow Road at 60th Avenue North.

The same scaffolding for a water tower fell on June 15 and had been rebuilt.

It collapsed once again Friday around 6 p.m.

Authorities said there didn’t appear to be any injuries.

A possible lightning strike was also reported at Sylvan Park Elementary.

Authorities with the Nashville Fire Department said there was damage to a chimney that was smashed.

Also at the school, bricks from the chimney damaged the roof and water got into a hallway.

Firefighters were able to funnel the water out, minimizing the damage.

Officials said a structural engineer had been requested, and they added there were no known injuries.
