Zeus and Thor are sky gods.
I was struck by lightning this morning.
Seriously.
Well, at least I think so. Let me give you the 411 (that means information) and you can decide for yourself.
I left work at 5:30 this morning to discover that it was raining. A lot. And there were massive bolts of lightning illuminating the sky. The water came down in blinding torrents, overwhelming my windshield wipers. Thunder roared overhead like a chorus of pizza and beer belches.
The following events happened in the snap of fingers, in the crack of a whip: I felt a slight warmth just as everything went white. An electric crackle and a transistor-like pop resounded loudly above my head. And then the world came back.
Was my car stuck by lightning? It wasn't just like a bright bolt near me, all around me was a single blinding strobe of light, and the thunder peal like a shattering light bulb sounded like it was mere inches from the top of my head. Does anyone know what happens to a car if it is struck? Will the electrical system be kersizzled? Do the rubber tires ground-out the vehicle?
I had better be careful; the sky gods are aiming for me.

I'm fairly sure the tires ground out the electricity. I'd call a mechanic if you're concerned.
