Remember, lightning doesn't just happen at night - it is just easier to see than in the daytime!

If you must stay outside, stay away from... • trees • metal pipes, wire clotheslines and fences • any body of water • tractors and all farm equipment • railroad tracks • open areas

If you're outside, go into a house, large building, or car. Find a ditch or bridge and take shelter Don't use the telephone (except emergencies) Don't go into any small buildings Don't go under any large trees Don't be taller than your surroundings Don't stand on a hilltop Don't go out in a boat Don't carry anything made of metal Don't be near large metal objects
