Found this post interesting in that one of these positive lightning
bolts, far ahead of the leading edge of the storm, hit just outside the
house, came thru our phone line, jumped the switch protecting the line
(switch was in open position) destroyed the phone,  modem and sound
card, jumped 20 feet across the room and blew out a light bulb in a lamp
next to the couch.
Have seen, heard and felt the effects of a few of these over the years I
have lived here in northeast Florida....lightning capital of North
America.
They are awesome.  The picture tells it all.
Thanks,  Elli
