Lightning Outdoors: Keep away from skylines / vertical faces / underground openings (say caves where ionization of air could attract lightning flash). Avoid cracks and fissures, overhangs and wet surfaces. Steer clear of structures like steel and brick bridges, tall chimneys, windmills and minarets.
If out on open ground, find the centre of somewhere flat, squat on balls of feet if rubber soles, head down. Don't double contact. Poise.
Notes from The Book of Survival by Anthony Greenbank (1967).
