Lightning does not need to hit the LPS on a house to cause damage within.
The strike can happen near, and blow out your irrigation, appliances, technology, cable, pool equipment.

It happened at the coastal home. LPS didn’t have a strike so we were told. But traveled to the home only taking our irrigation. Since nothing else was plugged in no other damage.
