   Thunderstorms are dangerous. Every thunderstorm contains lightning, and lightning kills more people each year than tornadoes or hurricanes! Do you know what to do to remain safe during a thunderstorm.

 

    First, go inside a sturdy building or a vehicle and close the windows. Furthermore, the national weather service recommends that you stay inside for at least thirty minutes after the last rumble of thunder is heard. Do not use telephones or electrical equipment.

 

    Avoid taking showers or baths. If you are unable to get safely inside a building, avoid taking cover under tall , isolated trees. Also avoiding water, high ground, and metal objects. Knowing what to do and what not to do during a thunderstorm could save your life.
