Question

Which of the following is the best thing to do during heavy lightning?

• A. Lying on the ground in an open place.
• B. Going into the nearest water body.
• C. Staying indoors, away from metallic doors or windows.
• D. Standing under a tall tree.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Staying indoors, away from metallic doors or windows.

Staying indoors, away from metallic doors or windows is the best thing to do during heavy lightning. Generally houses are provided with lightning conductors. So, even if the house is struck with thunder, the charges move into the earth through the lightning conductor and the house is saved.

For all the other options provided, there are high chances of getting thunder-struck.
