Yes. It is much better to have a flaming tree fall on you after being blinded and deafened by a bolt of lightning. That is if the lightning hasn't jumped from the tree to you.
Always find a low spot and crouch down on the balls of your feet. Never hit the dirt. You want the least of you touching the ground as possible. Stay away from trees but if you have no choice, find the smallest ones.
