Yikes!
At least the house didn't burn down.
Look at all the fires started out in California.
Sorry to hear/see the damage.

How many volts are in a lightning bolt? I doubt if too many electronics could handle that!

It was mounted on a tree. No visible damage to the tree other then a burn mark where the wiring was touching the trunk of the tree.
