Here you can read some rules about how to avoid extreme weather, writes IHMK.
1. If you have been found outside during a storm, do not stand next to a tree, a telephone pole, or flag stake. The safe distance from high objects is twice the height of the object.
2. When the lightning threatens, get inside a house, a large building, or a fully metal vehicle.
3. If the storm approaches while outside in a forest area, take refuge under small trees and stay away from tall trees.
4. If the storm approaches while you're outside, don't be a target. It could be fatal. Do not stand on top of a hill, on an open field, or along a beach.
5. If the storm approaches while swimming or near water, exit the water immediately and leave the beach.
6. During a lightning storm, remove the umbrella, stay away from wire fences, dry clothes, metal pipes, metal tracks, and other metal objects.
7. During a lightning storm, stay away from electrical equipment, heating channels, radiators, and plumbers. Remove the main electrical devices.
8. Lightning is deadly. During a storm of lightning, do not use electric equipment as razors, cabinets, hair dryers, and laundry equipment.
9. Flooding can be deadly, but a person who appears to be killed in lightning can often be resurrected from a quick mouth - to - mouth approach, heart massage, or artificial breathing. If some people are struck by lightning, treat those who look dead first. Those who show signs of life may heal themselves.
