Thunder & Lightning on Half Dome?

When thunder clouds start building above Yosemite Valley, what does a summer hiker do--other than pray--when he or she has just mounted Half Dome and lightning bolts start erupting between granite and sky?
I understand the WORST thing a hiker can do, of course, is open an umbrella. But what are the other do's and don'ts that keep one from going "poof?"
