Lightning Strikes in Flight?

So, I'm flying in Florida (The lightning capital of the world) and wondering if anyone has information on strikes to helicopters in flight? I've heard details on a Bristow Super Puma ditching in the N. Sea several years ago after a nasty tail rotor gearbox strike but wondered how often it happens?

Anyone with any experiences of links to tech docs?

Thanks
