My next door neighbors were away, but when they returned my neighbor says to me "hey, look at this.." and on the other side of his house there was a nice chunk of stucco missing.
Neither of us have lightning rods.
He had no issues with his electronics.

I lived in the midwest and saw 3 different houses hit and 2 of the 3 burned. What I learned from that experience was if you are hit call the fire department. Two of the houses thought they had no damage. One called the fire department and had some damage that was smoldering under the siding and did not burn. The other one did not call the fire department and four hours later the top floor of the house was burning out of control. No matter what, call the fire department and let them check it out.
