While en route; without passengers; the number two engine flamed out at approximately FL380. The aircraft was approximately 25 miles north diverting for a large cell depicted on the radar (the cell was depicted over [a fix]). The aircraft had experienced three to four suspected lightning strikes and was descending through FL380 for FL340 when the number two engine experienced a rollback to a flame out. No secondary maleficent indications were noted.an [notification was sent to] ATC and the appropriate checklists were run. The crew noted that the number two engine was windmilling and no bad indications were noted so a restart was attempted.
