To guarantee your safety in the midst of a thunderstorm, take into account the following recommendations:When venturing outdoors, it's crucial to have a lightning safety plan in place. It's important to remember that lightning can strike even when a storm seems to have passed, so exercise caution.If you find yourself outdoors with no access to indoor shelter during a thunderstorm, take these steps to maximize your safety:Steer clear of tall, isolated trees and other prominent objects. In wooded areas, stay close to lower stands of trees.
Do not approach water bodies, wet objects, or metal items. Although water and metal do not attract lightning, they conduct electricity effectively and can pose significant risks. If the roadside is your only option, pull off as far as possible, preferably past the end of a guard rail, and wait until the storm passes. Keep your headlights on and turn on emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.
