Lightning strike possible cause of KU steam whistle’s malfunction; officials will investigate once weather clears
The Kansas University steam whistle malfunctioned Friday, possibly due to lightning.

It happened right after lightning flashed nearby, she said. Jess said the whistle was turned off and workers planned to inspect it once the weather cleared.
