You've got to keep in mind the high elevation afternoon boomers rolling through. A few years back, I was camped just below timberline in Colorado. Had camp setup in some thick timber when an afternoon thunderstorm came up on us. I was close enough to camp that we were able to make it back to the tents to take cover. "Flash, Boom". A tree ~25' from the tents got struck by lightning. The concussion of the lightning pushed me over in my tent and made my ears ring. When we broke down camp a few days later, I found my aluminum tent poles were fused together where they crisscrossed. Had to break the tack between the tent poles to get the tent down.

That is Mother Nature. Glad you didn't die with your tent melting on your face.
