For buildings like this:
it's pretty old so any grounding probably was either rusted away or removed (because dumb people). This means lightning will try and find something to ground out on.....which leads to ----
If no building ground, it WILL find something. See in the pic that large vertical "hole" near the top center? That was a large steel pipe that got blown out (see it on the ground in the rubble).
Since the pipe was near the roof, it sought it out as a ground....which happened to be behind the wall. That's what actually caused the explosive outburst to happen as megajoules of electricity was looking for somewhere to release. Since no building ground, energy built in that pipe in a fraction of a second and blew up....out....hence the hole. =)
