But the story teller was very
definite about it being a TV aerial strike.

You often can't tell whether the lightning hit the aerial or the nearby
masonry. I've been to a lot of these.

But would hitting the house structure cause so much electrical damage to
it and the surrounding ones?

Typically it'll be obvious where the strike was; could be anywhere.
Nearby downleads will be melted, masthead amps burnt out. Sometimes the
aerial itself will look OK but the balun with be gone.
