Is it possible to be struck by lighting and not even

Question

know it?

Answer 1

No, the amount of energy in a lightning strike is enormous there is no way that it wouldn't be felt.

However there is the possibility of surivival.

Answer 2

If hit, part of the lightning charge flows over the body - often known as an 'external flashover' - and part through the body. The more that flows through, the more internal damage it causes. If your skin is moist from either rain or sweat, the moisture can rapidly turn to steam and it's this that's responsible for reports of clothes and shoes being blown off.

Lightning often causes its victims to jump, which could be caused by the charge contracting the muscles in the body. Other effects range from amnesia, seizures, motor control damage, hearing loss, tinnitus, blindness, sleep disorders, headaches, confusion, tingling and numbness. Burns are often reported, which can be caused by objects in contact with the skin being heated up by the electrical charge.

Answer 3

You may not remember being hit, but assuming survival, you will definitely see indications that it did happen.
