A Call out to a client in East Sussex this month, through the night they had a very large storm and a direct lighting strike to the most beautiful tree on their property. A direct hit to a tree that's over 100 years old. The damage the strike caused is unreal. After the direct strike it instantly evaporated all the water inside the tree exploding all the bark from the tree and also giving a direct link for the lighting to dissipate into the ground. Upon hitting the ground the lighting spread to the local area and caused over £8000 of electrical damage to a swimming pool, lighting around the pool, the image is where a transformer use to sit. not anymore. never hurts to get an SPD in your board to help.
