Why? Theyre just clouds releasing the water they have retained and uh...... I forgot how lightning is formed. Point is, it's nothing to be afraid of. Unless youre golfing in a storm. Then your screwed.
Lightning I think is static electricity and caused by the friction of two air masses slamming into each other. though I may be wrong, a better person to ask would be Broken Angel, he did a big "end of year" project about lightning. And your only screwed if you're the highest thing on the ground your on because lightning usually strikes the talles thing in the vicinity where it comes down though not always.
