When I was little we were staying in a motel due to a house fire (not lightening related). Dad and a friend of his had gone back to work the shop and Dad was sitting on a work bench with an outlet strip along the front, with his feet resting on a metal welding table. His friend said all of a sudden he hit the floor twitching. When they got to the hospital there was a spot on his hip that looked like a spider web where the electricity went into his body and then spread out from there. The doctor said he had been hit indirectly by lightening. We found out later that it had come in on a phone wire, jumped from there into the electrical system through the closest outlet, and then through the wiring out to the shop where it went to ground through Dad and the metal table he was resting his feet on. Inside the house you could easily locate where the power had comem in because it blew the panneling off the wall in the surrounding area.
Too, we lived down the hill from a TV tower. Over the years we'd often watch lightening hit the tower and sometimes it would disipate down the guy wires like glowing balls of fire. Now that was something really cool to see.
