You got very lucky.
So did I. I record audio for game sound effects and related productions. A few weeks ago a really nice storm rolled through. I set out to record it. Right when I finished setting my audio gear up and hit record, literally 1 and a half seconds later, lightning hit a few hundred feet away:

[B]Hear the clicking sound right before the thunder? That's the lightning itself traveling through the SM57 I was using as part of the recording chain. The SM57 microphone capsule is not shielded from electronic interference like the SM58. It literally "felt the lightning".[/B]
It surprises no-one has bought up the fact that everyone has rated this with lightning haha, and also the house two doors down from my Dad's house was hit by lightning.

I wasn't there at the time, but my family said it was like "A bomb going off" and that they had a kid who was electrocuted on the sofa. This was a few weeks ago by the way.
