**Go inside a large **_**permanent**_** building, like a house or school**
- Stay away from plumbing or electrical appliances.
- Don’t use corded telephones, except in emergencies.

**A **_**hard**_** **_**topped**_** metal vehicle is also safe**
- Convertibles, motorcycles and bicycles are NOT safe!

**Use the 30-30 Rule **
- If you hear thunder within 30 seconds of seeing lightning, _Go Indoors_!
- Stay indoors for 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder.
- When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!
