Get out of small boats, and get out of, and stay away from water. Clear the beach, golf course, football field, or other large open area. Only use the phone in an emergency. Telephones can be hit by lightning. Avoid taking a bath or shower during a storm.
Pipes can carry a lightning hit.
When driving, take it slow, watch for flooded areas, and other hazards. Tall objects are most often hit. Find a low lying area away from tall trees, fences, and poles. If in the woods, find a group of lower trees. They are less likely to be hit.
