This is an old 802.11 lightning magnet, I mean omni, on an UBNT XR2 radio in a MT board. The lightning arrester stopped it. We lost one ethernet surge suppressor on top and the SyncBox12. I was surprised the timing ports on the 900 APs still worked after this.

    I had a decommissioned and powered off LMG OMNI on a pole that
    also has an EPMP mounted to it.  Lightening took out the Omni, as
    in bits of fiberglass were found around left over from the
antenna. The EPMP sector 5' down the pole didn't even reboot. The EPMP along with all Backhauls at the site are powered with
    GIGE-POE-APC units. I didn't even know there was a strike until
    the people there told me about finding the bits of antenna
    around.  I'm guessing the suppressors saved the rest of the equipment.
