I pull into a stores parking lot, turn off ignition, and go to hide my valuables. An Incredible lightning flash with an immediate resonating thunder crack fills the sky. I am startled as my car lights instantly went out. I admit... very briefly thought "crap, blackout".
Ladies and gents....in case you missed why that was a stupid thought...
I'm in a CAR, not a power-line tethered facility. My interior lights go off after 30 seconds...weather has nothing to do with it... Face palm...
