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.
