Jr Motorsports off with a bang

My truck was hit in my driveway 4 years ago and the lights came on and the wipers were running slow after the hit, had to unhook battery to get to stop. It fried all the electronics and anything electric, put a tiny star shaped whole in the front right rim and the back left rim. Where it exited to left rear rim it blew a whole in the driveway concrete. I was in my office in the house and it sounded like a Howitzer went off.
$14,800.00 later, back to normal, insurance covered all but $1,000.00.

The strike also blew the cable off the side of the house and fried the phone line, 2 TV's and 2 Joeys. The main DVR receiver was OK :idunno:
 
I was living in Sunland in 2000, it was raining like hell. Lightning blasted a tree just outside our bedroom back door. The tree was on fire but the rain extinguished the flames. It was probably one of the loudest sounds I’ve ever heard in my life.
 
My guess is outside the truck the body was fine, like mine was. I'll bet when they tried to start it they found out what a strike like that does to the electrical parts.
