Lightning can always harm electrical, electronic equipments. Always switch off & remove plugs of ur precious equipments when lighting storm happen. But u can do little for a celling fan. U can't unplug ceilling fans wires. U can safely keep it on. If lightning stuck then it will only damage ur fan not u.

Answer 3

It is safe to have the ceiling fan on during a lighting storm, the worst that can happen is you need to buy a new one.

On or off if your house gets hit by lighting then the electricity will go out and any appliances and/or lighting fixtures may not work the same way, or they may work absolutely fine.
