My SE was parked outside the garage today when a lightning bolt struck maybe a quarter mile away, there was no rain but cloudy. I jumped and ducked in case tree debris was flying my way. The SE turned on its parking/driving lights and rolled down the passenger window similar to when opening the door. Must have scarred the crap out of it... dunno if it was a silent scream, or maybe it was preparing for a tornado, just in case.... perhaps there was a spirit that had to get out in a hurry... or in... Dunno, what do you think?

The SE's computer looked like it was in some strange state, didn't respond to inputs as far as I could tell. Opening and closing doors was about it. The lights stayed on. After awhile I cycled the master on/off switch a couple times and was then able to close the window and resume normal operation as far as I can tell. That must of restarted the computer's brain.

EMP can have some strange affects on things with wire in them, especially those with a lot of wire. Hope I don't have a failure down the road sometime.
