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)

That has to be soggy brickwork having the water explode.

Chimney pots cracked or destroyed (many times)
Lead flashing perforated or vaporised

That’s not structural damage.

Sections of ridge tile damaged or missing

Soggy again.

Iron fallpipe loose on wall

What the hell is a fallpipe ? I only get big shipping vessels with google.

Gulley cover missing presumed vaporised

Seems unlikely that only the cover is vaporised.

Grittall window frame scorched and distorted, some of the glass broken

That’s not surprising given the metal frame.

Hole in the drive approx 24" wide and 18" deep

What was the construction of the drive ?

Petrol mower in the shed rendered inoperable; turned out the electrics
were damaged, no other shed damage visible

That’s not structural, that’s just another
example of appliances etc being damaged.
