Struck

I'm at the hospital. I got struck by lightning.

The clock in the church tower struck nine.

A curious disease struck the town.

I barely missed being struck.

The orchestra struck up nostalgic music.

It was all-or-nothing and we struck out spectacularly.

We were struck dumb with astonishment.

The batter struck out swinging.

At last a good idea struck me.

The tree was struck by lightning.
