Abstract
Lightning related damage stories abound, but it is not always possible to document precisely the mechanisms and scenarios involved when timely, first-hand knowledge is not obtainable. From a collection of case histories accumulated by the authors, three cases are described. Each of the three illustrates a different mechanism leading to equipment failure, in ways that might not have been obvious from a casual investigation of the damage or sites, or from second-hand reports.Proceedings Title
