Default Could a lightning storm cause windows to roll down?

We had a severe lightning/rain storm roll through a couple of days ago. According to my weatherbug, we had strikes that were 0.0 miles from us. When we went out in the morning we found all 4 windows rolled all the way down. I had not driven the car for 3 days and we walked by it multiple times, including working in our camper parked about 2 feet away. I'm positive one of us would have noticed all the windows rolled down, especially since the back windows have a dark tint. A woman at the store said the same thing had happened to her sons truck. Is this possible? Also, the USB outlet was not working and the radio was a little wonky. I at first thought just because it was wet, but maybe from lightning? It's a 2016 Chevy Suburban, LT 1500 2WD, Texas Edition

Default Lightings and thunderstorms lowered my truck windows

I just came across your thread. Last night we have a really bad rain, thunderstorms and lightnings. This morning I saw all my windows on my 2024 GMC rolled all the way down.
