I have seen gear doors blown apart by a good hit, flt controls virtually welded together and engine cowl that lookd like it had been straffed by a machine gun.VHF antenna had a hole melted in it. static port slagged.
Damage is not always dramatic or obvious.
rubik should be given a pat on the back for his admission, not castigated.He made a mistake and has paid the price and his post is a lesson to any pilot considering not following procedures when lightning strikes.
