I was wondering if this were true in the follow scenarios.

1. You live at 600 ft. above sea level and experience 100
thunderstorms on average per year. You then move to an area that is
1,600 ft. above sea level CLOSE to the area which is 600 ft. above sea
level.

Would your chances of severe weather go down with higher elevation in
this example or is this unrelated completely?

At the relatively low elevations you mentioned, with
respect to thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes, high winds,
etc., I'd say the chances are basically the same. In
fact, you may experience somewhat higher winds at
higher elevations.

I guess I was going by the fact that higher elevation means lower
temps and lower temps mean more stable air mass.
