No. With the exception of a few unlucky ones, cicadas do not drown in thunderstorms. If a simple storm was all it took to kill of cicadas, they would have gone extinct long ago.
Some think Cicadas lay eggs underground. However, though not usually in Pine trees, they cut a slit in the tender bark of small branches and deposit their eggs. When the eggs hatch, the larva fall to the ground and tunnel in for the next 17 or so years.
