The following precautions we should take if lightning occurs while we are outside the house:

i. We should not carry an umbrella during thunderstorms.

ii. We should stay far away from trees.

iii. We should stay away from any fountain, pond or any other water bodies.

iv. We should stay far away from poles or any metal objects. They are too dangerous.

v. We should not lie on the ground. Sit down and place our hands on our knees with our head between the hands. This position will avoid us from the effect of lightning.

vi. We should not go near the open motorbikes, cars, tractors etc. They are not safe at all.
