Thursday night thunderstorms damaged a portion of the fabric screens that have covered Coca-Cola Co.'s North Avenue tower since the company's 125th anniversary party three weeks ago. Coca-Cola said no one was injured and there was no significant damage to the building. But the screens are being removed and illuminations originally planned for this weekend are cancelled. Illuminations earlier this month were projected onto 210,000 square feet of the 26-story building, and used 45 projectors to produce 1 million lumens of light.
