stay away from trees, water, and tall objects.

Explanation: Lightning often strikes the tallest nearby object and can travel through water and the ground. If you can, go inside a substantial building or a hard-topped metal vehicle. If no shelter is available, avoid high points and isolated objects and crouch low with feet together (do not lie flat).
