@weathertalkstv: Safety Precautions during lightning. ⚡ Do not shelter under trees during thunderstorms. ⚡ Move indoors immediately when thunder is heard. ⚡ If no building is available, seek shelter inside a fully enclosed metal vehicle with the windows closed. ⚡ Avoid open fields, hilltops, and isolated tall objects. ⚡ Stay away from metal fences, poles, and electrical equipment. ⚡ Avoid swimming, fishing, or any activity on water during a thunderstorm. ⚡ Unplug sensitive electronic devices if it is safe to do so before the storm arrives. ⚡ Follow the 30-30 rule: If the time between seeing lightning and hearing thunder is less than 30 seconds, seek shelter immediately. Wait at least 30 minutes after the last thunder before resuming outdoor activities. ⚡ If someone is struck by lightning, call emergency services immediately. Contrary to a common myth, lightning victims do not carry electrical charge and are safe to touch while providing first aid.
