Decatur Daily Democrat:

A lightning strike during a storm damaged a control unit on a computer in the Geneva branch of the Adams Public Library System on Monday, blew a fuse and knocked out the site's elevator, air conditioner, and Internet and Wii services.

The incident happened around 1 p.m., branch director Rose Bryan said.

Geneva firefighters responded to the alarm, but there was no fire.
