I actually went through this right after Memorial day with a friend going for scup. He's been anchored up offshore many times in his life and if there is lightning or even the thought of it, he takes the outriggers down and in the cabin he goes and waits if it's isolated and moving. If not, he heads back.
Of course that's only if you're unlucky to be caught in it, if it has been in the forecast you won't catch him out there to begin with.
