I hate thunderstorms.. do find the lighting very cool and amazing though, just have to be indoors.
When i was younger if there was a thunderstorm at night, i'd wake up shaking like almost bouncing the bed

You should have been camping on a cliff top in South Wales in it.
Sod the planet. Next year, I'm flying somewhere hot, dry and still. I've got sun burn and trench foot. That can't be right. |

My grandmother used to do this too, so the lightening wouldn't bounce from mirror to mirror if it got in the house. She also had the front and back doors wide open so any stray thunderbolts could go straight through the house.
This might not be an approach to storms that is based entirely in the real world
Mind you, I can't stand to be shut inside during a storm. I have to be on the doorstep at the very least.

I generally have a dog round my neck - they are utterly terrified, and think that's the safest place to be, daft so and so's. | ||||

my mom certainlyworried about it
i can remember camping as a family in the woods in our frame tent one summer (late 60's) , not exactly alone as there were probably 100 other tents hidden in the woods of this campsite.... anyway middle of the night all asleep like you do, mom, dad and 5 kids between 15 and 5.... storm brews up and my mom gets us all out of the sleeping bags and makes us go and sit in the car incase the tent gets hit by lightening....she figures the rubber tires on the car will save us all.. 
needless to say she wasn't the most popular mom, we were the only dipsticks sitting in our car, everybody else was sensibly asleep |

Exactly the same thing happened to me when I was a kid on a family holiday! 
We were camping in France. Mum made everyone (me and various cousins) get in the car in the middle of the night. Dad refused and stayed in the tent. Around 4 in the morning, the tent blew away. My Dad slept on. How the French campers laughed

It has been absolutely ofnadwy all day. Torrential rain pretty much non stop. My poor garden is under water! Did you know it comes down in knives and forks in Wales (cyllyll a ffyrc) rather than cats and dogs

Our welsh teacher told us it was raining "old women and sticks"--can't remember the exact Welsh--not been doing my homework over the summer
