Last night while playing on my friends world there was a thunderstorm and he was nervous because lightning hit his airport, i wasnt sure why he cared so much but he told me that lightning can cause damage to buildings... i had no idea that it could do damage to structures and have never paid any attention to storms... Now i am nervous that some of my buildings may be damaged and it would take me forever to inspect all my buildings for damage...
Can anybody confirm that lightning strikes cause damage and if so how much damage they cause, and is it only certain materials they damage?
Thanks to anyone that can help!

Lightning makes fire where it strikes and several blocks around it.
Wood, wool, etc can go up in flames.
I was always wondering why the @#$! people made giant wooden villages and not once batted an eye. I've lost structures in the PC version to lightning, but I guess people just aren't having it happen in the Xbox version.

Oh ok thanks!
Will the fire spread? For example if lightning hits a piece of wool pixel art, will the entire pixel art be burned down?

If you liked all that flattening you are quite welcome to come flatten the rest of my city... , its a very annoying job!
I'd be pretty impressed if you managed to make an entire world flat, you would have had some major mountains to clear out, or did you keep putting new seeds until you found a pretty flat land?

It can be pretty scenario specific. As Feiwinx mentioned, you have rain during the storm. If it hits the very top of wool pixel art then the rain will probably put it out.
If there's a ledge nearby that blocks the rain then it can certainly spread to other blocks and do significant damage. Lightning isn't a perfect straight line from the sky - it's not exactly going to make a 90 degree turn, but it can kind of angle in sometimes.
.... I still remember watching that whole wooden bridge burn in the rain. :\
I guess that's what happened to my wood roof of my glass house. I couldn't figure out why a quarter of it was just gone. Also I noticed about 6-7 of my rails that are angled to change elevation are gone. The problem is they weren't connected to each other so it seems unlikely it was caused by lightning. Has anyone lost much to lightning? I've been hesitant to put wool outside with that warning on the load screen.

Give a man fire and he's warm for a day, light a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
