There used to be a large tree in the middle of this picture. Lightning hit the tree, came down, jumped off onto the radio antennae of my brothers Grand Am which was sitting directly to the left of where this Accord is. It went forward thru the car and took out all electrical wiring.
It then jumped out of the left front wheel and into the right front wheel of a Prelude I had parked next to it (exactly where the Accord is). It went thru the crossmember and jumped out the left front wheel and into the ground.
It headed left around that red maple tree following the phone line and into the house.
I was standing about 15 feet left of the left edge of this picture up where that other Accord is.
All three wheels I mentioned had a 3/4 diameter hole burned in them, and it blew out a trench in the ground as it followed the phone line.
His car was totalled and we had to call the fire department.
Lightning is bad, bad stuff.
