Approximately four years ago, lightening struck the Delta ramp building at KMCO which zapped the flap computers on a Delta 767 and a Leisure 767 whilst parked on there respective stands. The electomagnetic energy from a nearby electrical storm can be detrimental to the functionality of computers. Neither aircraft had been directly struck.
