In the late 60's when I was very young, lightning hit our metal TV antenna pole attached to the side of the house (pole from the ground up to the roof). it traveled down the pole and just above ground level it jumped out and blew about 1 foot hole through a 8" concrete basement foundation wall and jumped on the metal duct work in the basement, ran to the opposite side of the house and jumped from the register to the telephone box and blew it out. The antenna pole still has a split in it where the lightning jumped to the foundation. Dad ended up making an outside entrance to basement and concrete stairs where the foundation was damaged.
In the 70's, the antenna pole was struck again after we were all in bed and it blew up the UHF splitter on the back of the TV and started a small fire on the nearby curtain and the carpet on the floor behind the TV. Luckily we all got up to see what happened and put the fire out immediately. Mike
