Default Lightning Strike, Breakers Tripped

Wowser! Lightning strike two nights ago shook our house and sent our
puppy (briefly) into hiding. Our son lives about 1/2 mi. away as the
crow flies; the hit turned off some of his breakers. His
across-the-street neighbor got interior damage (pin-hole leaks) in his
baseboard heating system.

If lightning trips some breakers, seems to me that it also damages
wiring. No appliances damaged at son's place. After his heart
restarted, he turned off main breaker, looked around, turned back on and
all seems to be okay. Suggestions? Have electrician in to check it out?
