What to do during lightning storms: Tips (some surprising) for indoor and outdoor safety

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:25:23 GMT

By far the No. 1 piece of advice for avoiding injury by lightning is not to be outside in a thunderstorm.Especially if you’re going to be away from shelter in an open area — hiking above tree line, playing golf — plan your activities around the area’s weather patterns and the current forecast, lightning safety experts emphasize.All other advice is secondary to getting to shelter: a building or a hard-top vehicle, not under a tree or an outcropping. During a thunderstorm, you don’t want to be the tallest object in an area — or standing underneath one.Other tips for staying safe:Outdoors• Do not be in an open field or on a hilltop or ridgetop. Keep moving toward shelter.• Stay away from water or metal objects (fences, cables), as they are good conductors of electricity.• If you’re in a group, stay 20 feet away from each other as you move toward safety. Though this dispersal increases the chance of somebody being struck, it reduces the chance o...
