I was once standing in our kitchen looking out of the open door at the torrential rain when there was a lightning strike around 40ft away, the bang is like nothing I've ever heard and you could feel the static electricity in the air. Not something I want to repeat.

I lost a friend to a direct hit. He was dead before he hit the ground...
Quick but nasty way to go...

People are generously surmising that there's at least one broken transfer case rather than the driver being a dumbass

I'm still not right after it - I used to love a good Lighting Storm but now I feel the anxiety build along with the air tension.
I lost 3 people close to me in violent accidents in the space of a year (Lightening Strike, Small Plane Crashed into side of Mountain and horrific Car Accident) which I'll be honest, I haven't properly dealt with.

Ah no, not at all - It happened. Quite amazing really. And in a funny sort of way, he’d have loved the story of how he died
No part of his life was ordinary, not even his death

He can't have been a bad chap or you wouldn't have fond memories, and if getting hit by lightning merely met the standard set by the rest of it I can imagine!

Why does the Maserati GranSport have just a tiny gear lever?
