Once on the E-4B climbing out of somewhere chasing AF-1 and - !!!!!  EMP hardened isn't quite the same as lightning hardened.........!

 

and once sitting down to lunch and the fence, about 15' away, got vaporized.

Member being in school and a nice  big bolt struck just outside the door. Sounded like a bomb went off. Good thing the hall was crowded to so I could blame that hanging fart on somone else.

Scariest thing I seen recently was driving home from work and far away was a good thunderhead, about 15 miles away, and a bolt came out the side, and bent to the ground about a diameter of the storm cloud....maybe 4 miles. Just guessing the distances, but a good lesson a bolt can strike you even if you are not beneath a storm and in clear sky. Made me think a bit about "racing" a storm, getting things done before it...gets too bad.

I was in an AMC Gremlin when lightning hit the antenna. Fried the radio and blew out the rear tire when it grounded. Shredded it, actually. While driving on an overpass.

That was scary.
