now your local weather patterns. Seek a low-risk area for shelter when you see lightning or hear thunder. Lightning can strike whenever the time from the lightning flash to the thunder crash is less than 30 seconds
Remember lightning can strike even when it is not raining and when there are no clouds visible in the sky
Avoid exposed areas during potential storms, such as creeks, cracks, crevices, ridges, towers/high places, open water, isolated tall objects, and opening of caves or buildings
Get low and sit or squat in a way that will decrease your ground-contact footprint. Although its effectiveness questionable, sitting on an insulator like ensolite, a rope or other padding can’t hurt.
The risk of a strike increases as the time interval shortens. Estimating the distance from lightning by dividing the time interval bin seconds from the flash and crash (by 5 for m & 3 for km) is simple but not terribly accurate. The National Lightning Safety Institute’s 30/30 rule is often an impractical guideline for backcountry use.
Spread the group out but maintain visual contact if possible to avoid a multiple-casualty strike
If you can get to an area of lower risk, keep moving toward it. Inside your vehicle is safest.
