BOOM a Direct Lightening Strike to the Comm Antenna.
The lightening destroyed the comm antenna, blew out the right navigation light and traveled down the gear and jumped from the axels to the tie downs causing the asphalt to explode upwards into the bottom of the wings.

And it needs gone through again to see if there is any other hidden damage. It doesn"t look bad at first glance, but I just do not have it in me to re-do this plane again.
