Tree Hit by Lightning

We had a bad storm and our oak tree was hit by lightning. There is a line of bark missing from the tree and it goes all the way up the tree. We have some leaves falling, not a lot, and they are not brown. They are green but most of them look singed or lightly burnt. How can we tell if the tree is dying? Or what symptoms should we look for?
