The resulting damage from a lightning strike is significant! A lightning strike can create a fire inside or outside your home, ruin sensitive appliances, electronics and wiring inside the walls, and even shock and injure occupants. Lightning burns every area it penetrates! If lightning chooses any of the home’s electrical wiring as its primary or secondary path, the explosive surge can damage even non-electronic appliances that are connected. Shock wave damage can cause explosive waves & vibrations that can rattle and shake foundations, block walls, tile floors and even chimneys.
