what should i doooo to not freak out!? and what are the chances of lightning hitting any of those trees and having them do damage to my house?? they are realllyy skinny but SUPPPPERRR tall

Answer 1

Well make a fourth , tall skinny tree , and stand next to them when the storm gets there.

Answer 2

The fact that they are super tall means that they have been around for a while and haven't been struck by lightning.  The chance that any one of those trees would get struck is extremely small, though not zero.  And most of the time a tree that is struck does not fall over, so I would say you do not really need to worry about them.
