There are stories, presumably documented, of people being struck by
lightning from a storm ten miles away, in an area that did not appear to
be
at storm risk... bright, sunny and clear.

Colorado, a park with no clouds in sight, clear blue sky. Cyclist dismounts and is hit by "a bolt from the blue" and killed.

Researching this using the lightning DF systems deployed around the country, a storm was found over a mountain out of sight to the park. The lightning came from that storm.

This is a well documented case and has been fodder for a TV special.
