30 years repairing electronics, I have seen lightning do weird things... one house the antenna was hit, lightning vaporized the cable coming down the wall outside, also jumped to the bathroom plumbing right under the antenna and exploded the copper water pipes when the water flashed to steam. TV was a smoking wreck, everything electronic in the house was toast EXCEPT the stereo right next to the TV that was connected to the antenna for FM reception, It was fine despite being right on the cable that was vaporized(we found 3 inches of it left connected to the stereo). Also every electric motor in the house was fried, furnace control board fried etc. Insurance told me to write it all off, not repairable, including the stereo, I paid the insurance company $10 in salvage for it, still using it out in the outdoor kitchen off the deck. But the speakers connected to the stereo were fried, turntable was fried, cassette deck was fried... somehow the stereo itself lived...
