I have a security camera video of my duramax taking a lightning strike. Insurance covered it all, $7500 worth of electrical damage.

So, did they total it?

Pay it forward - Kids are the future.
Rifles are similar to boats and young women...there's no end to how much money you can pour into them without making them any more useful.

Yes, the truck was totaled.....said the damage sat at $7,000 and they would have to replace $4,000 in main electrical components just to see how much more damage their was.
Very blessed that nothing happened to me. Even more blessed I still got to eat the ducks.
Lastly, extremely blessed with great parents and an understanding wife who let me borrow dad's truck and travel to Kansas to hunt with a college buddy for 3 days just 2 days after my truck being struck by lightning!
I still can't get over that it happened!

How long did it take before you got out of the truck?
Arise.Kill.Eat -Acts 10:13 I have read a bunch of stuff on the internet about Star Wars but that does not mean I can skin a deer with a light saber.
