I've been fortunate to have been on two different boats struck by lightning.
For some crazy reason, Lightning is my biggest bugaboo, closely followed by spiders and women talking on cell phones while driving.

The bolt came through the radio antennae and exited through the port propeller. The antennae exploded and the propeller was heavily discolored. To top it off it was on the first morning of seven straight weeks of fishing!
I don't wish that kind of evil upon anyone.
