Lightning Strike Takes out Part of CRJ-200 Winglet Near EWR

This just came across the pilot reports of turbulence:

EWR UUA /OV CAT/TM 2010/FL100/TP CRJ2/RM LIGHTING STRIKE-LOST PART OF WINGLET-ZNY CWSU

Not to worry though, planes are built to handle lightning.

Meanwhile, many planes on the Eastern half of the US are experiencing moderate-severe turbulence due to jet stream and weather.
