That’s even rarer.


A strike on a building or its aerial usually causes some structural
damage.


Depends on what you call structural damage. Burns, sure, but
only rarely damage that risks the integrity of the building unless
it sets fire to the building which isnt that common.


Tho I spose it would be more common on that soggy
little sodden island with so much of the building sodden
so that a high current can instantly cause the water to
explode and blow bits of masonry etc off.
