A lightning strike can have devastating effects on both homes and businesses, causing damage that ranges from structural issues to electrical malfunctions and even fire outbreaks. When lightning strikes a building, it can result in structural damage such as roof punctures, shattered windows, or even structural fires due to the intense heat generated upon impact. Additionally, the electrical surge caused by a lightning strike can damage appliances, electronics, and electrical systems within the property, leading to power surges, outages, or electrical fires.
