 Can you get hit by a lightning bolt?

 In the story, "The Man With Enormous Wings" the lightning bolt relates to the story and the question because there's a lady that gets hit by a lightning bolt and turns into a tarantula. Once she turns into a tarantula, everyone stops paying attention to the angel and starts giving her all the attention. She got struck by lightning because she left the house without her parent's permission.
