BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA (FOX 35) – A truck was totaled when a lightning bolt punched through the windshield.
The homeowner was safe inside his Florida home during a severe thunderstorm on July 31. He heard a loud boom in his driveway and saw his truck on fire. The surge from the strike also fried his garage door opener, but thankfully his house is still standing.
“I heard a horrendous crash. ‘Bang!’” recalled Edward Osborne who said he has seen some horrific storms in the community.
When he saw his truck, plastic was melting away, and there was a gaping hole in the driver’s side windshield.
“As far as the damage to the vehicle, it was pretty extensive,” he added. “I mean, it blew the windshield out basically and set fire to the upholstery inside, melted the dashboard.”
