It wasn't struck but it had to be pretty darn close. From that side of the house the living room and the kitchen are visible so that entire area flashed bright white and it lit to my bedroom in the corner of the house a bit I'm sure o.o
But this happened twice though I wasn't by a window so instead of seeing the strike (which probably would have given temporary blindness) I saw the whole house light up both times. It also had hail the size of a dime or bigger o.o

Haha yeah I wouldn't panic about a lightning strike on a plane. I know the guy who developed the lightning rods for one of em.
