5 things to do to protect yourself from lightning

By Redoy K

To protect yourself from lightning strikes, stay indoors during thunderstorms as buildings provide safety from direct electric contact. Avoid taking shelter under trees or in elevated areas as they attract lightning. Wear shoes with rubber soles to prevent electrical charges from traveling through the ground. Avoid showering, as lightning can travel through metal pipes and plumbing. Wait at least 30 minutes after the last thunder rumble before showering. Being cautious and taking proper precautions can help prevent potential injuries or fatalities from lightning strikes.
