I did see that white flash while watching. Will a lightening strike while take off or landing fry everything? or enough that recovery is tough?

Lightening strikes act differently and are very dangerous.
Very rarely is there no damage at all.
It really is hard to tell, and todays composite carbon-fiber aircraft are more prone to damage than the older type, aluminum skinned aircraft.
But each lightening strike is different, and you really can't assume anything is safe when it comes to lightening.
