Answer:
Suspend activities for at least 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder. If no shelter is available, crouch low, with as little of your body touching the ground as possible. Lightning causes electric currents along the top of the ground that can be deadly over 100 feet away. Stay away from concrete floors or walls.

Answer:
- When you see a lightning flash, count the number of seconds until you hear thunder, and seek shelter if the count is less than 30.
- Appropriate shelter is any closed building with a roof, four walls and an insulating floor or a vehicle with a roof -- avoid open garages, patios and convertible automobiles.
- When inside, avoid using water or landline telephones because lightning travels through plumbing and telephone wires.
- You should stay indoors for 30 minutes after you hear the last clap of thunder -- most casualties happen after a storm has passed and people go outside prematurely. After 30 minutes, you can be sure the storm is too far away to strike you with a bolt of positive lightning.
