Flight Safety Issues Surrounding Lightning

Hi,

I would like to know from airline pilots who fly schedules, what the dangers are surrounding flying in / through lightning. For example, taking off/landing in such conditions, what are the main issues you would consider in delaying your departure or arrival? Would you also be able to elaborate on the atmospheric conditions that culminate in lightning forming, so that i have a better understanding of it.

Thanks
