1. Seek shelter! The safest place to be in a thunderstorm is inside.
2. While inside, don’t touch any water faucets or your landline phone (also unplug your computer and other gadgets, which can be damaged by lightning).
3. If you’re stuck outside, avoid standing under tall trees or towers, which attract lightning. Don’t even carry an umbrella!
4. Leave the area – seek shelter or climb into a car – as soon as possible.
5. If you’re swimming, get out of the water as soon as you spy a storm. A lightning zap can zip more than 20 miles (32 km)!
