Yes, and strikes within the pad perimeter are fairly frequent during the summer months. Central Florida is the lightning capital of the country and space center gets its fair share of ground strikes.
The last few strikes have not resulted in any major damage. One in 2006 resulted in a delay of an Atlantis launch.
