"Thunder" (Thunder)

On a recent road trip, I found myself low on fuel, in the midst of a pretty severe thunderstorm. That is, I left behind 1.8" hail, but it was coming up behind me as I stopped for gas.
My question is: what do you do when you have to stop to fuel up, but there’s a thunderstorm at the time? Sit and wait it out? Fill up and pray you don’t become a lightning rod attached to a fuel-air explosive?
What do you do?
P.S. That title, “Thunder Gas”, could mean many things, as my nickname is Thunder.
Ahem.

Unless there’s a woman in labor in the car, stay put. Sliding off the road is no fun. (done it).

I’ve driven under a gas station awning to avoid hail before but I don’t recall needing to fuel up during a thunderstorm before. In any case, I’d stay in the car because the rain blows right under the awning and soaks everything anyway.
