I agree with much of what was said. I say look around. In my backyard, there is one big oak tree that was hit about 20 years ago so other than that tree is pretty good odds. On the other hand, I had heard about afternoon thunderstorms in the Rockies and the danger of lightning strikes along ridges - when hiking there I saw more than one tree totally splintered by lightning I.e. Where there were a few trees up high rather than a lot of trees lower down.
