Lightning (from Thunderstorms) Safety 1
Lightning (from Thunderstorms) Safety 1 : A simple rule is, DO NOT MAKE YOURSELF THE TALLEST OBJECT OR STAND NEAR THE TALLEST OBJECT IN YOUR IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING. For instance, do not stand in an open field, on a beach, or on a hill top. Do not stand under an isolated or large tree or near a pole. Do not stay out on a boat. When lightning strikes, the current will travel through the object, along the ground, along wire, metal, and water. Most lightning related injuries occur in this matter. The electrical current will travel the easiest route. STAY AWAY FROM METAL OBJECTS such as fences, poles, equipment, pipes, etc. Get rid of metal objects on your body such as coins, money clips, hair pins, jewelry, etc. STAY AWAY FROM WATER
