Drummond-Kerr Hall was struck by lightning, knocking off a corner block of the building. No one was hurt and there was no interior building damage, he said.

A small section of University Avenue in the Westwood neighborhood also closed temporarily while city of Stillwater crews examined asphalt damage. The road reopened a short time later.
