A direct hit would have blown her right out of her shoes and possibly other articles of clothing. Passersby likely would have had to put out flames from clothing remaining, her hair, etcetera. It’s a pretty massive zot. Not too many survive.

Knew of an older guy when I was just a kid, who had been struck on his tractor trying to get it into the barn before a storm. He had multiple skin grafts. Looked like it came out at his joints, elbows in particular were a mess. He had lingering memory and balance problems in addition to physical issues.
