Karma was not on digital camera at the time of the strike, but can be read reacting to it (Content warning: Some viewers might discover the footage disturbing).
UPDATE: speaking to doctor, arms are burned and controller is damaged.

You can hear Karma conveying the situation in a subsequent clip from her stream here, the place she talks about how the lightning may well have travelled into her residence, resulting in the controller to spark and burn her arms.
The streamer sought health care notice immediately after the event and luckily, she has because instructed her supporters on Twitter that she is fantastic. The streamer was casting a Rocket League sequence when the strike transpired, and the controller she was keeping is now damaged as a final result. We hope Karma would make a fast recovery.
