My neighbor? He's fine. He was deaf for a few days and weirdly the palms of his hands were burned but it doesn't seem like there were long-term effects.

Actually common in lightning strikes. Exit path gets burned to shit but otherwise you can be weirdly ok. The shock wave is what does the most damage
