No. You'll go deaf if it hits the tent. But you won't care anymore.

not the thunder that's dangerous, it's the lightning.

I've seen this happen more than once. Twice with this lightning struck the lightning rods of the catenary poles of the railway catenary poles in my immediate vicinity. Rumble and crackle deafening, but quieter than you would expect. Even my ears were not blocked by it. Of course, these poles are well grounded, and the current does not spread over the surface of the ground.

no, when it strikes near you, you only hear an electric crackle, you cannot go blind, because you cannot see lightning near you, people a bit farther away from you will see it, but you yourself - no, then there will be a rumble that rolls away from you, it is loud, even an earthquake can be felt, but it does not stun my mother with lightning several dozen times in life - two or three meters from her, she says she knows it
