We had a lightning strike several years ago. It actually struck an 80 foot conifer about 25feet away from the house. BUT hooked to that tree to another tree(about the same size and species) and them hooked to an eye bolt at the corner of the house was a number nine wire clothes line. Electrical charge traveled down (or up whichever way lightning goes) the tree thru the clothes line.

It did not trip the breaker for that circuit, or any other breakers. I believe it went to the ground wire within the romex and went to ground/earth. Within two days the refrigerator and microwave quit working. No fire, no charring, the tree did eventually die on one side. Lightning does some weird stuff. gobble
