funny near death story. just sitting on my couch, got up to go to the clubhouse where I open the front door and and bam, lightning strikes barley around the corner, I jump back into what was the garage door and after a couple seconds go to make sure the truck is alright, mom thinks im crazy now haha but it struck a pretty close to it. its all good now, trucks fine

 

Is that patch of darkness over by the window also a lightining strike?

 

I would definitely just look for weird electrical problems while driving or working on it. My cousin works as an EMT in NM, and they had an ambulance go through something similar and it had random electrical problems, such as lights not wanting to shut off and sirens going off on their own. Hopefully everything is in the clear!!

 

I'm more shocked by the club house comment. Is this you by chance Richie?

 

Had a lightning strike during a swimming lesson as a kid 30+ years ago. There were about a dozen of us in the pool. No sign of any storm, just overcast clouds then BOOM...lightning struck a wooden fence post about 3-4 feet from the pool. Sent some splinters into a few people near the post, but everyone was okay. Scary **** for sure. Not sure what would've happened if it had struck the pool itself.

 

yep, it arched off a transformer and did like a semi circle, around that little tree

 

have you been to Colorado? I was up in pikes peak, stormed daily, and the 50ish foot pines turned into 10ish foot splintered burnt stubbs.

 

****s crazy! Makes you think, I could literally get stuck by lightning any time! haha. The closest I have ever been was across the street, hit a flag pole. Blinded the **** out of me I was looking right at it. lol

 

haha Im definetly a riskier adventurous person, heres a couple of my adventures with my truck, one over my moms(right) and one over my dads, (left)
