i hear the best thing to do is get a long metal rod and find the highest point and stand on it holding up the rod. it works for about .006 seconds before lighting strikes it. just kidding. heres some information--<br>a lightning bolt can be 4-5 miles long. for aproaching thunderstorms counting the second's between flash and thunder clap will tell u how far away it is (in miles per second) Do not hudle together in a group during a lightning storm (504 sheep died hudeling together during a thunder storm) dont run moving air currents might attract an electrical strike. if in the open, crouch very low and insulate your self from the ground with s back pack (with no metal) or a rain jacket, sleeping bag, ect. the purpose is to prevent the current from ground to travel through your body to attempt to reach the lightning discharge. keep your hands off the ground escpessially if its humid. the barometric preasure will drop rapidly before a storm. thats all i know hope it helped.<br><br>
