Absolutely. I have smelled it from inside the doorway of a boatyard building when lightning struck in the harbor. Newport in 1978, I think. Smells almost like a clam bake before the clams and lobsters put in... It all happened so fast, so loud... The flash, and the immediate thunder. The smell is all that lingered.
