or structural damage first.

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.

I've seen the following:
Areas of brickwork damaged or missing (many times)
Chimney pots cracked or destroyed (many times)
Lead flashing perforated or vaporised
Sections of ridge tile damaged or missing
Iron fallpipe loose on wall
Gulley cover missing presumed vaporised
Grittall window frame scorched and distorted, some of the glass broken
Hole in the drive approx 24" wide and 18" deep
Petrol mower in the shed rendered inoperable; turned out the electrics
were damaged, no other shed damage visible
