I'm sure you can, I've done it before. It's unlikely you'll be struck, and you'd have to be pretty close for an emp to affect you drone. Just be careful (I'm not responsible if nature is against you, and something goes wrong :| )

If any, the only thing to be worried about is that lightning may be accompanied by rain. If the drone is far and high enough, it might get caught in a downpour even though the rain haven't started where you are or where you took off.

It was not raining, but I was about to land.  Had left the camera on just in case of a strike.
