    Nature's Warnings

    When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are scary. Watch for flashes of lightning (闪电). Listen for thunder (雷). If nature sends these warnings, don't wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe.

    Safety Steps

    At the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed (棚) for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe.

    Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be.

    Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity (电) either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don't! It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt. Try reading a book instead.

    If you can't get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can hurt your hearing.

    Lightning Strikes

    Lightning does not hit people very often. It is not likely (可能的) that you will ever see that happen. If you do, call 120. Only trained emergency (紧急情况) workers should care for a person who has been hit by lighting.

    If you follow these rules, you should stay safe during a storm.
