That is for sure John ! I was reading in a journal for the power industry a
number of years ago that a single bolt of lightening can generate up to a
million volts in a split second when it hits !

Subject: RE: Major Crash from HMC Monitor
Somewhere around 12-15 years ago at a different employer we had a
building get hit by lightning. It didn't hit the power but did hit the
phone line (19.2Kbps data circuit). Fried the datacomm equipment &
modem, fried the 5394 terminal controller, and traversed the twinax line
to fry an additional 6 terminals.
When something abnormal happens with electricity, all bets are off.
