I've never seen one nor heard of one, other than thru the rumor mill.
Doesn't prove that it never happened, but I'd bet good money it's
extremely rare.

There seems to be an urban myth in popular circulation about foundations
being subject to being blown to bits or at least cracked open sufficiently
for them to fail due to lightning. If this were a real threat wouldn't it be
common experience with Ufer grounds? Can anyone provide a reference to a
properly documented incident where lightning blew apart a foundation?
I'd be happy to abandon my current thinking and get on board with the
lightning blows up concrete folks it there were sufficient factual evidence.
