Well,
here it's captioned that "Lightning strikes the launchpad"
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/view.php?id=22745
but this is some press release written 19 years after the fact and probably
not by someone who was there or had detailed knowledge. It's a fine
illustration of the problem of lightning in Florida whether or not it
actually hit the pad.
I thought I'd read a more authoritative and detailed account of what
happened somewhere on a nasa.gov page, but if I did, I can't find it right
now.
