I stumbled upon a cruiser blog by a husband and wife couple that has spent the past few years cruising the east coast and caribbean in the 72' Nordhaven. This article is about their yacht getting struck by lighting in Colonial Beach, VA (a few hours south of DC) and the mayhem it caused.
Our boats are complicated things, but imagine everything on your boat that uses any sort of electrical current suddenly stop working. (Including the engines)
Check out the article below:

A side note, some of their other articles are very interesting, especially if you like to cruise the Bahamas and east coast.
