Summary
In July 2013, a forum notice reported that lightning had disrupted the Holy Cross Church electronic carillon’s software control unit. The unit was to be sent to Chime Master for reprogramming, with restoration expected in about a week.
Evidence limits
The report comes from a person coordinating the repair and is good evidence of the contemporaneous outage and planned remedy. It does not establish the exact lightning mechanism, repair cost, or final restoration date.
