Yes - I can readily see all that happening. But the story teller was very
definite about it being a TV aerial strike. And that being on a DA. Which

I'd have expected a major strike to have cause a fire, or structural
damage first.

IIRC, lightning strikes are not necessarily simple - the
single "strike" we tend count may well involve many related
current paths at the same time over some area, just depending
on how the event manifests. Thus the biggest and most obvious
burn mark isn't necessarily the only one.
