No.
Yes, lightning can potentially cause damage to a house if it strikes the structure directly or if it causes a power surge that damages electrical devices or starts a fire. Homes with inadequate grounding or lightning protection systems are more vulnerable to lightning damage.
No, one flash of lightning does not contain enough electricity to light a house for a year. While a lightning bolt does have a significant amount of energy, it is not enough to power a house for an extended period of time.
If lightning strikes the house you are in, either the bolt will be absorbed by a lighting rod, or it will do a considerable amount of damage to your house. If you need convincing, go out after a storm and find a tree that's been struck by lightning. Go buy a lightning rod.
Lightning outside tends to make a house seem more delicate because there will sometimes be power surges or other anomalies that will make it seem like the house won't hold up in a storm. Lightning makes a person feel less in control of their environment, therefore making it seem like even their house isn't safe.
A lightning rod is a metal rod installed on the roof of a building to intercept lightning strikes and safely conduct the electrical charge to the ground, thus preventing it from causing a fire inside the house. The rod provides a path of least resistance for the lightning to follow, protecting the structure by dissipating the potentially harmful electrical energy.
house of representatives can draft bills
It would most likely take 500 draft horses to pull that amount of weight. A draft horse can easily pull twice it's own weight, so an average draft horse weighing 2,000 pounds can pull 4,000 pounds.

Yes, they are built like a draft

The word "draft", when used in conjunction with the word "cow," (or other animals including oxen, horses, mules, donkeys, buffalo, etc.) means to draw or pull a load. As such, a "draft cow" is a term for a cow being used to pull a load via wagon, cart, or other wheeled pull-type vehicle.
Yes, lightning can cause a house to catch fire if it strikes the building or ignites flammable materials such as wood or roof shingles. It is important to have proper lightning protection in place to reduce the risk of fire.
Typically, draft horses can pull about 6 times their own body weight. A draft can pull a lot more than an Arab.
No, my house has not been hit by lightning, causing any electrical problems.
It may strike the lightning rod. A properly installed lightning rod will prevent a lightning strike from setting your house on fire, at least for the most part. The energy of the bolt is carried by the rod and the ground wire. This system "contains" the electric current by offering it a low resistance path to ground. If lightning strikes a tree, a power pole, or a house, it travels through the tree, pole or house. This high current can super heat that wood or other materials and cause them to explode or burst into flames. Damage will result, and very possibly a fire. The lightning rod minimizes the chances of extensive damage and fire in the event of a strike on a house.
their main function was to pull heavy machinery and plough fields.
