Interesting post. The first hit and damage pattern I find normal, the second one raises a few questions.
Was your boat actually hit or was it a hit somewhere in the shore power lines that went through to your battery charger?
Were your main switches on or off at the time?
Are your throug hulls grounded to the same grounding piont as your shore power system?
If the rigging is grounded it should have been some traces on that too where the lightening hit?
