Delta Lightning Strike Video

Happens all the time, but not always caught on video like this. The flames off of the gear were particularly interesting.

What happened next? Curious to know if a strike while on the ground warrants an inspection or ?

Any lightning strike warrants an inspection. Looking for enty and exit holes/damage.

So lightning doesn't always hit the highest point! Is it a composite fin? Has it 'connected' to the rear pressure bulkhead?
