Several years ago, electricity caused by a lightning strike passed through me. It was NOT a direct strike, but was dispersed through the ground. I have yet to find an official term for this occurance, and I'm also looking for any long-term adverse issues it might cause.

Ouch! Well, if it strikes an object you say it was grounded.... so I don'y know about passing thru a bystander. It would still be using you to "ground" wouldn't it?

I would think it would be called "being struck by lightning"
Or maybe just electrocuted...

Try non fatal natural environmental electrocution.

Do you feel less intelligent now?
If so then you might qualify as dumbstruck... =)
