Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:
An apparent lightning strike Thursday afternoon set the roof of a house on fire in Hainesville.
A 911 call came in at 12:20 p.m. for a house fire in the 200 block of Big Horn Drive, officials said, and first-responding crews arrived to find a quarter of the roof on fire.
