Beware of tingly hair - If you start to feel static in your hair or you hear a buzzing sound in the air, a lightning strike might be imminent. Crouching down on the balls of your feet with your shoes touching, head tucked, and covering your ears may slightly reduce the odds of a direct strike and minimizes injuries should a strike occur. When the static sensation passes, keep moving toward a building or car.

STRIKING BACK - Part 3
Another storm safety tip . . .
Branch out - Lightning commonly connects with trees due to their height. If struck, a tree conducts potentially deadly current in to the ground and can even explode due to the extreme heat. Also, gale force winds can snap large branches. So be smart and give trees a wide berth during storms.
