Safety tips when lightning strikes
Safety tips when lightning strikes
- Seek shelter inside a large building or a car
- Get out of wide, open spaces and exposed hilltops
- If you have nowhere to shelter, make yourself as small a target as possible by crouching down with your feet together, hands on knees and head tucked in
- Do not shelter beneath tall or isolated trees
- If you are on water, get to the shore and off wide, open beaches as quickly as possible
- Studies have shown that proximity to water is a common factor in lightning strikes
