You don't really need a good receiver or a decent antenna to pick up
the noise from thunderstorm lightning. Indeed I would not risk good
equipment for such a venture. Any cheapo AM radio will get lots of
static. Just pick a frequency.

Your question is somewhat ambiguous. I assume you want to hear the
lightning and not literally pick up the strike by becoming a lightning
rod of sorts.
I hear storms 700 miles away on the HF bands. I don't think I'm risking
anything.
