I've never noticed a smell after lightning. Other than the usual post-rainstorm smells. Maybe this ability is genetic?

When I was a kid in Pittsburgh, PA, we would run to the porch when a thunderstorm was coming so we could smell the ozone! Haven’t smelled it in many years—-

Player frank h Can you get to a rural area during a storm? Just don't stand under the tallest tree or anywhere you'll be the tallest thing around! 😉

Ozone smell is dezcribed as like chlorine bleach or like an electrical burning type aroma. Other possible aromas associated with storms or rain is called petichor or geosmin, both having to do with changes in the ground or soil as rains falls. Generally as like musky, fresh, earty and pleasant aromas.
