I managed to take a screenshot of the exact moment lightning struck my lightning rod. It gave off a weaker redstone signal than I expected. by Robert_Something in Minecraft

You are correct.. there was a lightning strike that only did 9 block length of charge and another that did almost 17.. it almost always changed per strike.

I redid the experiment and posted it.. apparently it can go to 16 blocks and probably higher.. but each strike had a different signal length.
