Default Chinese launch in bad weather

http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n...rch/index.html

"Launching in a torrential rain and lightning storm, a Long March
rocket lifted off Tuesday from southwest China and successfully
released a navigation satellite in orbit, state-run media reported."

Are they taking huge risks or are their rockets that reliable?
