Following are the safety precautions that should be taken during storm and lightning:
1. Do not take shelter under an umbrella with a metal head because metal is a good conductor of heat and may cause electrocution.
2. Avoid taking shelter under an isolated tree.
3. Do not sit near windows or take shelter in metal sheds and garages.
4. Avoid swimming in a pool during thunderstorms. Taking shelter inside a building is safe.
