I can't find any reference on the internet to follow-through current,
Richard Harrison discusses his vast experience in broadcasting stations:
None of these stations ever suffered lightning damage when taking many direct hits during every year. In fact they only dropped from the air for an instant, to extinguish any follow-through arcing when hit, and were returned to the air automatically following an arc kill.
Colin Baliss in his engineering book (who wastes time reading reality):
Although lightning strikes have impressive voltage and current values (typically hundreds to thousands of kV and 10-100 kA) the energy content of the discharge is relatively low and most of the damage to power plant is caused by 'power follow-through current'.
Apparently we must be wrong because all this only comes from over 100 years of well proven science; not from mockery and emotions.
