Thunder & lightning has never bothered me all that much in my hammock.  Rather, I am more concerned about becoming a piñata for a storm-driven tree, a bear seeking breakfast, or a moose on its morning stroll down to the water hole... the latter instance being something that nearly DID happen to me on Cirrus Lake at a camp near Sue Falls.  Since then, I've been more cognizant about avoiding straddling game trails with my hammock shelter set-up.

If I remember correctly, that happened two nights in a row.  I was in a small clearing nearby and only had to hope that those heavy foot falls didn't land on my tent.
