There are stories, presumably documented, of people being struck by

at storm risk... bright, sunny and clear.
The NWS classes used to have a photo of two teenagers? at a scenic
turnout in the mountains. They are laughing as their hair is standing
straight out from static. They were killed just seconds after the photo
was taken.

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.
