Speechless.... Just speechless... 
I am so thankful that you and yours are okay. Lighting is scary stuff. Glad everyone made it out okay.
Sorry to hear about the ride, though...

Very sorry to hear such news and see such devastation, but you and your family are safe, and that is the most important thing. That said, get yourself a "pit bull" lawyer to deal with your insurance company and save yourself a lot of stress and heartache. Good Luck!

Best wishes on getting your life back together again as soon as possible. As other have said... at least everyone is safe.
I've never heard of anything like that before (lightning traveling up a sprinkler system and starting a fire). Quite a happening just to have lightning in your front yard. What state do you live in?
