On my way to work this morning it was raining pretty bad and a electricity pole burst about 50 feet away from my car. I felt my car vibrate and I hear 3 loud booming sounds and saw a huge blue light with sparks I felt my arm tingle. Now I have a headache, I was a bit nauseous and I just don't feel to good overall. I am at work now and I can function but I feel ugh. My eyes are a bit red too ( But I did cry for a second) Any idea of what happened? I don't know if lightning hit the pole or if it just burst.

Sounds like a transformer blew. You are pretty safe from electricity inside of a car because you are in a big metal box.
Transformers can blow for a number of reasons, including lightning strikes.
Electricity will not cause the symptoms you are describing.

When lightning strikes it produces a huge magnetic pulse and that will produce electricity in everything that it he magnetic line cut through. That has possible induced electricity into U and this confused your nerves system. Actually all the affects u describe could be related to it ,but there should be no long term affects.Take 2 I B Prophens and u should feel better soon. That was closet.

You could of died. It is called retroactive electo-shock. It is where you are electrocuted even though not having contact with any electricity or high voltage.
Go see your doctor, you are showing the prime symptoms.

You're sufferering from the after effects of a large burst of adrenalin. You'll be fine by this evening.
