I agree, but strange that ATC gave T/O clearance if a thunderstorm was that close and/or tracking over departure routes. I know some airports are crazy-busy, and ATC will shoot the gaps on storm cells (in and out). Approaching A/C will usually be given the choice to hold or divert. Departing A/C stacks up until there is a window. However, it would appear this guy didn't even have a clue what he was in for, nor did he get a vector around it after T/O.
