Tall, pointy objects standing alone in an open space are more likely to
get struck by lightning but it’s by no means a certainty. Sometimes the
flat ground next to a tall tree can be hit. A car or other enclosed
metal structure is the safest place to be in a thunderstorm. Failing
that, a ditch, trench or group of shrubs of uniform height is better
than nothing. Keep away from boundary areas between dissimilar terrain
(water and land; rock and earth; trees and fields). Also keep at least
five metres away from metal objects.
