Tree Struck by Lightning

About a month ago, our large 30-year-old Cottonless Cottonwood tree was struck by lightning. There were probably 5 lines down the trunk, bark blown out near the roots and on the opposite side of the tree from the strikes. Its bark is now beginning to peel back. Is there anything we can do to save it?
