I had a near miss Saturday.  I just finished mowing the lawn and it started raining, then suddenly started lightning.  Before I could do anything, I saw a silent flash outside with a loud snap at the rear of the console.  I reckon there was an induced voltage spike on the antenna line to ground.  I couldn't find any damage.  I disconnected and left the antenna lead in.  I reconnected it Sunday and tried the shortwave.  I got Radio Romania for the first time and a station that usually plays middle eastern music had an english speaking broadcast.  I couldn't get identification.  There were quite a few stations that I could get.
