If lightning struck 10 ft in front of me, would I be blind?

Answer 1

Lightning strikes vary enormously in their power. If you were out in the open and on wet ground, a severe strike could kill you. If you were in a car, the lightning would strike the metalwork of the vehicle and discharge to earth. The body of the car would act as a Faraday Cage, directing the electric current via the metal to earth.

Answer 2

If lightning strikes 10 ft in front of you, more than likely you would be dead unless someone was nearby to resuscitate you.

Answer 3

the real question is, do you WANT to be struck by lighting.
