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.

Now if your house is struck by lightning, make sure you call 911, and DO NOT. I repeat DO NOT turn on anything. Make sure you get out of the house as anything can catch fire.
The lightning is very much able to ruin you electricity in the house, and you'll end up with a lot of surprises...
Such as:
- Fridges/Freezers dying
- The lingering scent of burnt electronics more than likely
- Flickering lights (if your power even works) when you turn on appliances.
