The best place to go during a thunderstorm is a sturdy building or a car. Avoid sheds, picnic areas, baseball dugouts and bleachers. If there is no shelter around you, stay away from trees. If you're with a group of people stay about 15 feet from each other. Stay out of the water.
If you're indoors do not use a corded phone. Do not use electric equipment like computers and appliances during the storm. Also it is a good idea to stay away from windows and doors. Remember to always listen to the radio or television for the latest information and instructions for your area.
