Note to self "DO NOT change oil outside when lighting is around you"
Oil and filter______ $40
Clean up after lightning hit tree______all afternoon
Being that close to lightning______ PRICELESS

Buddy of mine got struck while driving his truck. It melted the antenna on his truck to about 6" long, pockmarked the paint, and fried all the electronics. His truck came to a real swift halt.
He kept the antenna as a souvenir, looked pretty cool - like someone had hooked it to an old Lincoln AC welder and gone to town with it.

My grandpa has been hit by lightning TWICE and hit by a train.
He said the scariest one was being hit by a train because it doesnt stop.
He described the lightning as "well...everything goes white....then black and then you wake up in the hospital"
