Close call.

We had some bad storms here in east TN. The city dropped lines a little too close to my truck for comfort. The power pole was broke in half but still standing. Apparently they forgot to turn the power off and set a new pole to transfer the wires before the idiots knocked the pole over. They literally just pushed it over, lines and all while it was still hot. Smart people...Anyways, what kind of damage can I expect when they shock my truck with this much power? I know theres not a whole lot of electronics on this thing but is there anything I can expect to get fried?

Re: Close call.

I don't think you would have any damage. Everything on the truck would have been turned off so it should be fine. Looks like a close call with all the stuff laying around.

Oh yeah it's not for sale anymore btw. I decided I can't part with it, selling the boat instead... I'm not advertising so please don't delete. Yes it was a close call, trees down everywhere.

The back/front of the tan house looks badly damaged. Yours?
