It's raining ghosts
Emma:
I've had flamingoes and gnomes struck by lightning too-the flamingo burned but sadly got put out by the rain.
I also have a couple of good pictures of a tree being struck by lightning during a very long storm (lasted 22 sim hours). This is on my greek house lot.
I take quite a lot of pictures now to plonk in my painting folder. I love this feature :)

I'd say, no - because the fire will be put out by the rain before the gravestone can be destroyed. At least that's the case with trees, flamingos or anything else I have had burning because of a lightning hit so far (incl. a fridge that stood outside). Sims seem to be the only "things" that can be destroyed by lightning hits, but only if their motives are low enough, I guess.
Apropos of Sim death, I was trying to kill off some townies last night the old fashioned way (luring them to a lot, then smiting them with lightning) and several townies escaped despite being struck 10-12 times (how is that even possible??). However, one of my Sims who wandered in from another lot, whom I smote by mistake, died after just one strike.
I think the game discriminates against player-made Sims!

Definitely.
It seems very difficult to kill Maxis made sims...unfortunately.
But with sims I've created or that have been born from my created sims - one zap and here's Grimmy!
Although, I sometimes associate this with the stupidity of the now dead sim... but Maxis made sims are even more stupid than the ones I've created, so why should they live when mine die?
J. M. Pescado:
I think the game may discourage townie deaths because of the respawnation.
Kasmira:
I read on this site somewhere that lightening rods help keep trees and things from being struck. Since then, I have added a lightening rod to the roofs of the houses I have played and haven't seen a single burning tree. The only thing is that the rods won't save your sims from being struck while in a hot tubs.
