Wear shoes to protect your feet from broken glass and other debris left by the storm. Protect your head and chest, crouching face to floor, hands behind head. Cover yourself with blankets, pillows or coats. Hide under sturdy furniture. Do not use candles, gas lanterns or oil lamps.
Lightning Keep an eye on the sky.
Look for darkening skies, flashes of light, or increasing wind. Listen for the sound of thunder. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning. Go to safe shelter immediately. Listen to weather radio or television for the latest weather forecast.
