    First of all thank God no one injured in such a lightning case.Thing we can replace but not human lives.Sure it is sad got lot of loss due to that.Why cant one put off main switch when lightning starts ?Second can one not take measurements to avoid such things like install on top of house or outside against this?SO that lightning strikes there not electric Board or house?These days when house is in a higher place there is more likely to strike it elsewhere.
