^^ but it depends on how well the structures are bonded with each other. When lightning hits a composite structure, which is the reason why lighting strikes cause burn marks on the skin. After a lightning strike, repairs must be done properly to regain the conductive path, but if this is not done correctly it may cause alot of problems to the structure.
