Lightning strikes what is tallest, so in a thunderstorm NEVER stand under a tree!

If you're out in a field and have no place to go, get as small as you can and scrunch way down low.

Stay inside your car. If there's lightning around, it flows over your car and down into the ground.

In a thunderstorm first you will see lightning flash! Next you'll hear thunder go rumble and crash!

To find out how far thunderstorms are from you, try this easy trick. It's a fun thing to do.

Start counting when you see a lightning bolt flash. Stop counting when you hear the next thunder crash.

Take that number, divide it by five — that's the number of miles the storm is from you!

Lightning's electric! One flash is so strong it could light every light in your house all year long.
