MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Gov. Jeb Bush's plane was struck by lightning as it traveled from Tallahassee to Orlando on Thursday.

The strike put a hole in one of the Beechcraft King Air's wings, but none of the seven people onboard were injured, said Alia Faraj, a spokeswoman for the governor.

The twin-engine plane, which seats up to 10 people, landed safely in Orlando.

Political comments aside...a hole in the wing? Eeek!
