A lightning strike usually fries the car's electronics, or at least causes damage that you would notice. Did the car do anything unusual? I guess a lesser bolt could spare the damage, but in order to get a burning smell, something has to be burning. Did you look under the hood? What can happen in a heavy downpour, like you were in, is that there is so much water on the road and coming down, that fluids and grease from your car's engine get washed onto the exhaust, and then burn off from the heat. You would only smell this when you stop, and especially in the garage. That would be my best guess.
