it is not at all advisable to lie on the ground because you might get an earthing shock

sujal92: no not because of that
sujal92: we should crouch down and be as small as possible in a low lying area.  Do not lie flat, but squat down or kneel with your head between your knees.  If you have a fencepost or other taller object in your area, position yourself about 30 feet away from it.  Stay away from water or isolated trees and tall structures that could attract lightning.
