You're about to sleep in your tent and you start to hear thunder. What do?

Does that really work?

Throw the gas cannister and stove five yards and lay down, I wait.

Ideally I'd have seen the forecast and set my camp up in a safe spot

Open my lightning camera app and look up.

Who cares? I've never been struck by lightning. People who have been struck are usually fine. People have lived in tents for millennia. Going inside meant going into the tent, not a structure that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Have a great night's rest thanks to the soothing sounds of rain and thunder

Is this actually something to be concerned about? the only thing I would do in a lighting storm is stay away from the limbs of a big fuck off tree. I doubt the tent poles are going to attract any lightning. What is the concern here?

Hurry up and start sucking my tent-mate's dick, like my scout master taught me.

close my eyes and sleep since rain and thunder drown out the real fear of random snapping sounds that you have to wonder what caused it.

I take out my hiking poles and wave them in the air to make myself look bigger and scare the storm away.

Listen to the rain thrumming on my canvas bivvy cover, then roll to my side to watch the cool flashes out the side. Sleep.

Sleep. Obviously I didn't set my tent up in an open field, near a lake or river, or on the edge of a cliff.

I had lightning strike a tree a few feet from my tent. The voltages were high enough to melt and vapourize parts of the tent. I was on a foam pad plus the rubber tent bottom (dog claw proof PU) and was fine.

If lightning flashes are waking you up then you've got sleeping issues.

getting hit by a falling / exploding tree or shorting the voltage funnel

Thunderstorms are undercommunicated, meteorologists never predict the frequency of lightning strikes and they never report of the frequency of lightning strikes afterwards, some storms can have 5 strikes per square mile and it will never be mentioned or deemed severe, often when storms are first brewing and bubbling up they have a great amount of lightning and little rain

I wouldn't worry about it.
