Lightning Protection Measures

During thunderstorms, stay away from isolated tall objects such as utility poles, chimneys, and basketball hoops. When the charge in the air increases, causing your hair to stand up and your skin to sting, immediately squat down, discard any metal objects in your hands, and adopt the correct squatting posture with your feet together, head down, and hands clasping your knees.
