    I had a similar experience when visiting Pikes Peak in July 
1989....Approaching T-storm
so I had to disconnect the antenna from my Echo II 2m SSB radio and soon 
arcing was
almost continuous between the PL-259 center pin and shell along with a 
continous crackle from
every other gap between the rusty spot welds in my old Plymouth.  Wife made 
a dash from
the gift shop just before the "Stay in Car" announcement and a 1~2" arc bit 
her
 when reaching for the car's door handle.....

The stormed passed in 20~30 minutes. I thought the car's electrical system 
might have been damaged--but
it started right up.  A 6 or 7 on the 1~10 scary scale....at least for me...
