How do you keep your family safe during a thunderstorm?

4. avoid water and find an open place that is a safe distance from trees, poles or metal objects.

5. If possible, get in a car – if lightning strikes, it will work like a Faraday cage and you will stay safe.
6. If you find yourself in an open area, squat down with your hands on your knees and your head between them. Try to touch the ground with your body as little as possible, do not lie on the ground.
7. If you are out of town – do not fire the cooker, the smoke coming out of the chimney has a high electrical conductivity and can attract lightning.
