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.

Eric 10-29-2010 12:58 PM

Wow, that sucks! It could have been worse.

BeachZTT 10-29-2010 01:32 PM

SOB John! That really sucks but I am glad you didn't loose the house and the car.

Punk86 10-29-2010 01:38 PM

Wow man, I would have died if I walked in my garage and found that...

fairladyZ34 10-29-2010 01:39 PM

wtf :eek:

N8GTOL 10-29-2010 01:51 PM

Holy crap! that sucks...at least the Z didn't get fried in the process. Insurance should take care of it though right?

Lemers 10-29-2010 01:51 PM

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

ThoriumHotdog 10-29-2010 01:52 PM

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!

It's covered on the car's... Lucky I have a zero deductible on the Z..
Still sucks though !!! 1 year old this month and my first blemish is lightning bolt !!!
WTF!!

ChrisSlicks 10-29-2010 05:27 PM

Wow, that thing blew off the wall with some gusto. No other electrical damage?

bigaudiofanat 10-29-2010 05:38 PM

That is amazing glad no one was hurt. Amazing what nature can do

PapoZalsa 10-29-2010 08:28 PM

Wow!!!

fullmonty 10-29-2010 08:51 PM

You did call the fire dept right?

Jquad 10-29-2010 11:45 PM

SophiaZ 10-30-2010 12:01 AM

Wow! Sorry that happened. But atleast your house and car didn't catch on fire ( like a previous post).

ProfessorDave 10-30-2010 06:40 AM

Glad everyone is OK.

I am convinced that your Z will now have special powers. Keep the radio volume low so you can hear if it starts talking to you.

Mike 10-30-2010 10:35 PM

glad you are ok, and glad I don't have sprinklers!!!! We just let the bermuda go brown when its hot out here in Loganville. It always comes back eventually.

Can you put in a fuse or GFI or something, coming from outside into fuse box to avoid future calamities? Best of luck.
