I haven't, thankfully.
The most danger I've encountered was camping and having a tornado drop. It was at night, so I didn't get to see it. Being struck twice is awfully rare. Being struck once is rare enough! Were you struck twice at once?

When I lived in Indiana lightening came through the window and struck an object nearby.
When I lived in upstate NY lightening struck the car I was in. They say you are safe in a car but it is still very frightening.
Ever since that happened I have been afraid to be out when it is lightening. Once my husband and I had gone to Mt. Rainier on his motorcycle for a day trip and it started lightening so I was afraid to return home. A nice Jewish family saw me crying in the convenience store and invited us to spend the night at their house until the storm blew over.
Another time when I was riding my bike back from work, it started lightening really bad and I took cover under the eave at a Seventh Day Adventist Church. I was screaming loudly and people in the nearby neighborhood heard me and came to talk to me till the lightening ceased.
Oh, I just remembered another time when I was out walking in the neighborhood around where I work and lightening started. Again, I was freaking out and a man in a house invited me in and offered to give me a ride back to work. There are so many kind people in the world.
We rarely get lightening here in the lowlands, although it is more frequent in the mountains.

I can understand why you're afraid of lightning, given your experiences. And I'm glad to hear you seem to stumble across the right people when you need them regarding this...
As a kid, I always worried about lightning hitting my car... that must have been quite an experience.
If it makes you feel any better, I am scared of Mt. Rainier, and I've never even been near it!

Huh! Guess where I'm camping near right now?
Guess you won't even need a campfire tale to scare me...

Some people have all the breaks. I think my camping days are over.Huh! Guess where I'm camping near right now?
The last time we went camping was to Northern Idaho near Sandpoint and that was eons ago.
I love the Idaho panhandle.
