Better check the outdoor lights and stuff. We had a strike like that at the property (on a big poplar no less) and it traveled up to house, up gutter, burnt eve lights black, across to other eve and knocked bulb out in the yard. It also traveled to the shop 40 yards away on underground power like and knocked out the garage door opener. Test everything and make sure you don't have surprises.

A friend had lightening hit his house one night. Set the attic on fire, thing is it smoldered for 8 hours before it went all inferno.

You should be fine now, but it is important to check shortly after a lightening strike.

We had one circuit in the house (?) that got tv’s fried on two different occasions. It was next to the glass and aluminum sunroom close to some tall pines. Put the last tv on a quality battery backup, no more problems.

A surge suppressor in your panel helps saves electronics.

Check all your electronics too.
The only way we got insurance to pay for our downed , lightning struck tree was because it hit my fence and took part of it out. If you had no actual damage to your house/shed/fence, any insured structure, then i doubt you will get coverage. I can’t say what they will do though.
