My brother was indirectly zapped by lightening during an electrical storm while standing barefoot in our garage when I was a kid. He wanted to watch the storm. A strike hit nearby and the charge traveled through the ground , up through the soles of his feet. He jumped about a foot in the air and then ran inside. He never did that again.

I recall Johnny Carson had a guy on his show years ago who had been struck by lightning several times - 6 times as I recall. He was struck inside his truck, & inside his home while sitting on his easy chair. He has had both his hat & shoes toasted, but he suffered only minor burns from the strikes. It got so bad he would leave his family during a storm to protect them.

Why was lightning standing in the garage?
To keep out of the rain?

Lightning can do strange things.
I once worked for a company that had a very large motor shop, machine shop, and welding shop all under one roof. There were steel supports and I-beams for overhead hoist systems all throughout the ceiling. During a heavy thunderstorm one night, lightning hit a power line coming into the building and the guys working second shift said there were lightning arcs bouncing and flashing across the entire ceiling of the building which was probably 300 ft long.
I also have a friend that was driving a light pickup truck in a storm one time with an aluminum ladder lashed to the top. Lightning hit the ladder and blew all four of his tires out instantly.
