Is it possible to be struck by lightning without any injuries?


My daughter was outside earlier today and there was a lightning strike close to our house and I am trying to determine how likely (or unlikely) it is that she was struck. She says that she fell down when she heard the thunder. When I asked her if she had any pain, she said her hip/buttock area hurt. I think I have heard of some people being struck and having either no injuries or minor ones. I know people have been struck and survived, although they often have lingering problems. So, are there any experts out there who can tell me the likelihood that my daughter was struck yet has no serious injuries?

The chances are highly unlikely. She probably just hurt herself when she fell. It's not entirely impossible, but very unlikely.
