Lightning Safety
Lightning Tips from the National Weather Service
If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to the storm to get struck by lightning
If you are outside with others, stay at least 15 feet apart from them so the lightning won't travel between you if you are hit
Make yourself the smallest possible target, squat with your hands on your knees and your head tucked
