Nature’s warnings during a storm
When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. People are always in fear when a storm happens. Watch for lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings, don’t wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe.
At the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe.
Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They may break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be. Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity, either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don’t do it! It is better to be bored than to get hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun and much safer than playing on a computer during a storm.
If you can’t get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulling toward tall sticks and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can hurt your hearing.
Lightning does not strike people very often. You might not often see that happens. If you do, call 120. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person hit by lightning.
If you follow the rules above, you will stay safe during a storm.
