Well in the total time since the invention of the automobile this has never been an issue.
I would guess if you had a lightening rod in your pocket grounded out to a pump or something could be a issue.
Think i would be more worried about getting wet during the storm or i would just wait to put fuel in later if your that vain.

The biggest risk involved is the risk that you could be struck by lightning, which could be deadly regardless of nearby car, fuel, etc. It is better not to be out in the open during a period of frequent lightning.

What's the chance that lightening will strike within 100 ft of where you are filling your car?

because fumes coming from the nozzle of the hose cause's static electricity which is a conductor also known as a positive ground to lightning.
