Well, down here, it doesn't matter if I'm hanging or ground sleeping. For us when those thunderstorms popup we worry more about the wind than lightning. 50+ mph gusts will put a definite damper on your day.
I'd say don't worry much about getting struck by lightning. After all, unless you're in the middle of a field, you're surrounded by trees that are a lot taller than you. Chances are one of those will be hit long before you are. BUT...you do need to worry about what happens when that tree comes down.
