Lightning Strike Melted This Ford Super Duty’s Interior | The Drive

In case you've never seen a car get hit by lightning, it's pretty violent. I doubt there's any such thing as a gentle lightning strike, but when there are lots of electrical systems and metal involved, it only gets more dramatic. The aftermath of such an incident is rarely seen, but we've got exactly that with pictures of this toasty Ford Super Duty.

From the outside, it just looks like a cracked windshield; really, though, it's way more. A view from the driver's seat shows a blackened and melted mess with that same windshield severely scorched. Luckily, as the original poster Eric Wilkinson explained to The Drive, the truck was unoccupied when it happened.

Why Adopting a Rescue Dog Is So Hard Right Now

Why Adopting a Rescue Dog Is So Hard Right Now

There is something odd about rescue dogs, or a market that values used and often damaged products over new products in form of bred dogs. Some of it has to be marketing -- the idea of your rescuing a cute dog from certain death at a kill shelter. As if dogs had emotions beyond what their natural biology tells them to do to meet their needs like food and shelter.

You have to wonder how much of the rescue business is a fraud -- if the value of rescue dog, especially boutique breeds, continues to rise, there is going to be unscrupulous breeders that are going to be selling dogs to rescue businesses as "rescued" even if the only place the dog was rescued from was on paper.
