Lightning goes "up"
Electricity travels from a relatively negatively charges area to a relatively positively charged area or pole.
Basic electricity I studied way back before I wuz an electrician.
Thus, the electricity flowed from ground (charged state 0), up through your feet and body and out your hands and head to the relatively positive charge of the airborne ions.
It hurts, I know. I've been zapped more than once myself.
