During a thunderstorm, safety should be your priority.
Here are 5 tips to stay safe during thunderstorms
Stay indoors and avoid open spaces. If you're outside, find shelter immediately
Avoid using wired appliances like phones and computers to reduce the risk of electric shock from lightning.
Keep a safe distance from windows, doors, and anything made of metal to protect yourself from lightning strikes.
Do not take a bath, shower, or swim during a thunderstorm
Wait at least 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder before going outside
By waiting until the storm is completely over before venturing outside, you reduce the risk of getting caught in dangerous weather conditions.
