Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery. We want to hear that you are 100% OK, then we can hear about the Verona!!

Maybe my recollection is incorrect, but why have I heard previously that cars are safe in lightening, because of the rubber tires? Incorrect, I must assume? Or perhaps it is the tires that make the car a dangerous place to be?

: My christmas holiday got a dramatic start on Friday. My car was
: struck by lightning as I was driving to work. Out of nothing
: came a big flash and a bang. I was blinded for some seconds, all
: instruments was blinking and the radio died. I felt ok and drove
: to work.
: I was wrong, i was not ok. In the afternoon I started to feel
: dizzie and shortbreathed.
: Story short, I ended up in the emergancy room. And have been at the
: hospital since.
: On my wrist was a newly arrived one owner Heuer Verona. I had the
: full historie of the watch, and I did certanly add some of mine
: :-).
: The watch still runs fine. Some of the hairs on my arm close to the
: watch was burned.

: It looks like I can go home today. I will write the full Verona
: story later.

: Happy holidays to you all! I hope yours will be less dramatic than
: mine.
