The Habersham County Sheriff’s Office and the Detention Center in Clarkesville both have been experiencing intermittent phone and Internet outages overnight on Thursday.
A lightning strike around 2 a.m. knocked out phones, Internet, and other electronics. Some phones and Internet connections have been restored but likely will be up and down on Thursday as repairs are made.
The Sheriff's Office Facebook page said no one was injured.
(We will update this story as we get more information from the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office during the day.)
