Over dinner with a friend, he told me of lightning strike on lamp post next to him whilst being stationary in a crawl at one portion of the KESAS E37 expressway.

Naturally the shock from the instantaneous thunder report up close after the lightning strike was quite frightful.

The lamp post fried and smoking. I wonder what kind of protection is used for such equipment. Can't imagine a strike taking out the whole stretch of lamps along the highway or what would have happened if say there is a bus stop with ppl taking shelter underneath next to that lamp post.
