This is not a comment, but a question. I am a librarian and have been asked to find out how many commercial vehicles (large trucks, semis) are struck by lightning each year. So far, I haven't found anything. Are you aware of a source that might have this info? Thanks!

I was struck by lightning June 21st 2008. I was under a tree and all I know is that the tree exploded. I was thrown out of my chair and while i did not lose concousness, I am noticing some disturbing symptoms. My hair was cooked in the strike and when I went to the hairdresser to get the dead hair cut off, she noted that I had an area where the hair appeared to be burned off at the front of my head. I am no longer able to multitassk. My short term memory is terrible, I get dizzy and disoriented, tasks that were previously mundane are a struggle. I am being called on errors at work, which I normally do not have issues with. I am having trouble sleeping and tremble at any given time. I have noticed heart palpitations. I have an appointment with a neurologist this coming week. I am starting to feel like I have lost my mind.
I m Ravi from India just watched a show on NET GEO featuring ur story. Its really unbelivable. But what u r doin by creatin awareness by this blog is really a gr8 cause. Thnx so much for helping our society. Keep the good work Up. All the best.
