Health Tip: Seek Safety From Lightning

If you’re caught outside during a thunderstorm, go inside immediately.

If that’s not possible, the National Weather Service suggests:

Stay away from open fields, hilltops and ridge tops.
Avoid tall objects, including single trees. In the woods, gather near a group of low trees.
If you are with several people, stand apart to avoid the possibility of sharing lightning current.
If you’re camping, choose a low area. But remember that a tent offers no protection from lightning.
Avoid anything that’s wet. Also steer clear of metal objects, including fences and poles.
