What damages do lightning strikes cause?

Answer 1

lighting strikes the earth by being atracted to protons. when an earth bound object senses a compatible electric current it feels the need to bind. so it sends out its' own current therefore attracting the lighting to it. there are protons and most all things. so that is why it is dangerous. if there is a tree outside somebodys daughters window during a lighting storm and lighting hits it, then bye bye daughter if it falls wrong way. lighting is the main cause of the California wild fires. arsen of wannabe pyros also take a great part. however interesting lightning is, be wary of it.

Answer 2

The term damage is relative. However, lightning kills more people than tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, or any other kind of bad weather, but because lightning usually kills people one at a time it tends to be underrated as a hazard.

An average stroke of lightning can easily release 900,000 kilojoules of energy, and at 30,000° Celsius (54,032° Fahrenheit), lightning is five or six times as hot as the surface of the sun. All of this energy is contained in a channel about the width of a human thumb.
