If you
get a direct strike NOTHING survives.
Many
moons ago I had to go to a housing estate where a telegraph pole had been
hit.
Every
house on the estate had to have all the phone wiring renewed.
At one
house I pressed the doorbell but nothing happened so I knocked. When the
owner
opened the door I saw why the bell didnt ring. The phone wire and the wire
for
the doorbell had been run along the skirting board. The skirting board was
laying at the opposite side of the hall having been blasted off the
wall.
Another house had a wall mounted phone, the lightning made its way
into
the phone, through the breezeblock to the earthed metal box for the
lightswitch
on the other side of the wall. The switch and box were blown out of the
wall and
hit the wall at the other side of the kitchen.
What
was REALLY SCARY was that I was up a pole about a mile away when the
lightning
hit that pole. I was down the pole in about 2 milliseconds

Nightmare!!
Does LV cable survive this sort of thing...or
could a single strike wipe out an entire structured cable
install?
