Car hit by lightning no damage however computer flash reset

[Hail22]

With a name like Hail22, I suppose we shouldn't be surprised you would attract storms?

Oh har dee daa

I was thinking on the lines of the VW add of the child vader vs the new Passat *raises hands up and drops Hail on incompetent drivers and lane hogs* hehe >

So i drove on thinking...sh*t hope my car hasn't been hurt internally.

Thanks to the Faraday cage, the internals should generally be OK. There could be some damage to the paint where the lighting hit and how it got to ground, however if it jumped the gap to your car, it would have alsojumped the gap to ground.

You can get it checked out, however I do not believe that the term "Act of God" is used anymore. Terms have to specify exclusions, so if lightning strike is not specified as an exclusion, then it is covered.

I know quite interesting how you told me your experience and his answer to my antenna fear, maybe your cars story has been heard of?

Quite possible as these freakish accidents seldom happen, so word spreads pretty quickly.

FYI...lightning strikes are still covered under storm damage.

People still don't believe me when I tell them my car got written off by a lightning strike.
