Based on what I’ve seen lightning bolts do to things, I’d say you have a long wait ahead of you.

“Based on what I’ve seen lightning bolts do to things...”

There is a feature in Discover magazine every month called Vital Signs where a doctor writes about an especially interesting or unusual case. One such story was written by an ER MD who was encountering her first (living) victim of lightning strike. With the exception of some electrical burns traced along his chest and back, he appeared normal. She said she bent down to talk to him and asked, “What’s it like to be hit by lightning?” The patient looked at her and at the top of his lungs yelled, “IT’S LOUD!”
