Hey all..
This is what happens when lightning strikes out in the yard !!
It came thru my sprinkler system into the panel on the garage wall,
and blew it off the wall into the side of my Roadzter !!
If your car is next to one of these MOVE IT !!

Holy crap. Glad the house didn't catch fire. Be sure to take plenty of pics for when you call your insurance company about the house and car.

So does that damage come under the car insurance or the house insurance?

Forget about the house and car. I'm just glad he's alright. I wouldn't want to be standing next to that thing when it went.

Glad you're okay!
