Ground to cloud lightning strikes go in the direction opposite usual. Out-of-the-blue lightning strikes are ground-to-cloud strikes. One of those ruined much of my electronic equipment a over a decade ago. The silence of the early morning hours was interrupted by the deafening explosion of the bolt.
That was just one time I had sustained lightning damage. The other time my television was damaged. That wasn't a direct strike that time, because I heard a pop inside the TV. The bolt must have been far enough away to hear the electrical arc inside the TV. After that, I disconnected the outside antenna.
