You get that smell when things are fried by lightening wherever it strikes.
I doubt they keep a mass spectrometer handy to test the air and identify
what it was. A wag on another group suggested it was fried bird droppings.
Cant think why...:-)

I imagine that NASA will use the time the shuttle is safely inside out of
the weather to do exhaustive testing to be sure nothing got fried in that
big lightning strike the other day. Or to figure where that burnt smell
the pad rats smelled came from (paint burnt off the lightning rod?
