Lightning damage refers to the harm caused by a lightning strike to structures, vegetation, and living organisms. When lightning strikes, it can create intense heat and pressure, leading to fires, explosions, or physical destruction. Buildings may suffer from roof damage, electrical system failures, or even complete destruction. In addition to structural damage, lightning can also affect the environment. Trees may be split or charred, and wildlife can be injured or killed. The electrical surge from a lightning strike can disrupt power lines and communication systems, causing widespread outages and safety hazards.
