Random Act of God (or is it Tynan in this case?)

So my colony got attacked and left a hefty body count. It was in need of supplies and I have little silver so I stripped the clothing/equipment of the primitive band that attacked hoping to to trade. Low and behold a trader came buy. Sadly this guy had a silver tongue and wanted more for his wares and little for mine. I had no choice but to sell for little and pay more for the things I need which depleted my silver stores.
During this time the area caught fire from the dry storm that was going on at the time. The colony was safe due to the hills between it and the fire. As the trader trekked off passing the fire for some reason, I don't know what promoted me to watch him go off; could be that he was right next to the inferno; The game decided to do something crazy. Lightning struck him. He lit up like a roman candle and in his panic walked into the fire and died. I saw all the crap I unloaded on him go in a blaze. All but the silver. The next day the fire died out and here in the middle of a wastland is a pile of silver (I have the stack mod on) that read 1750. I got my silver back and then some.
@Tynan I don't know what you did but I know you had something to do with it some how. That saved my colony with the next trader getting better supplies.

idk, sometimes the game trolls HARD, like the clip on tynans twitter where a guy gets his last dude killed by a mad dog, and he says "well, thats it, unless we get a wanderer joins event"

annnnnnd 4 seconds later, a wanderer joins.
