Struck by lightning this morning en route to a pickup.

Of course -- what REAL-LY matters here....is that you (and anyone else) came out of this okay.

Nonetheless -- that's a totally wild story -- do keep us posted on what the later diagnosis is with the truck/trailer.

I knew a guy with a near new cascadia that got hit by lightning and they totaled it .

The insurance company wrote it off ...

 

Time to buy megamil ticket haha. Glad your ok

 

Congrats on the good fortune.

Now you have another good story to tell.
Most people go their whole lives without being hit by lightning.
Many don't live to tell the story.

 

A friend had a new 2008 Volvo (under 12k miles) was hit by lightning on i95 in FL.
(Hit the drive side antenna..)
Truck was running when they pulled over.. just idling.... they turn it off and it kept idling... turn the key back on and it died... never to start again.

Company towed it back to GA and gutted a wrecked volvo and rewired everything (took 4 months)

About 18 months later I run into the new driver of the truck at our shop in okc. He was talking to the shop about all the electric problems and how jokingly said he thought it had been hit by lightning, I asked the truck number, when he told me I said it was in March of 08... my friend was driving..... the shop looked up the repair history and said yup looks like it....

That's way I said NEW TRUCK
