Strange things that have happened to you. Worth discussing? [View all]

In 1973, I was driving through Nebraska, there was a strange storm up ahead, and I could see a whole lot of trucks getting off of the interstate..so, I decided to stay and keep driving east. About 20 minutes later, my car got struck by lightening, a bolt hit one side of the hood and jumped across to the other side and was grounded. I can still see it today in my mind. I got off at the next exit and had a nice piece of pie with a cup of coffee..
