If You Can't Get to Shelter

You are NOT safe outside during a thunderstorm. These tips only slightly reduce risk:

Avoid open fields, hilltops, and ridge tops.
Stay away from tall, isolated trees and objects.
In a forest, move to a lower stand of trees.
If in a group, spread out.
Camp in valleys or ravines, not open areas.
A tent offers no protection from lightning.
Stay away from water, wet ropes, and metal objects.
