A possible lightning strike caused a house fire in the Savannah Green subdivision in Normal Thursday morning.
The fire department says an official cause will have to wait for the investigation, but most of the damage to the home in the 1300 block of Oglethorpe Avenue was to the roof and attic.
Firefighters estimate damage at more than 60,000 dollars. There were no injuries from the two alarm fire that began during a thunderstorm about 7:30 a.m.
There was water and smoke damage throughout, though firefighters say they used tarps to divert water from some household furnishings.
The fire department says the owner did have insurance.
