Lightining when it strikes where are the safest places to be.?

The rubber of the tyres helps ground the car so no one gets hurt. Also standing in open areas is pretty good. Lighting tends to hit the highest thing in the area so stay away from tall trees etc.

Anywhere.  There are GOBS of them out there.  Be prepared for SPAM though.

Move away from anything that could fall on you.  Get under a table or get flat against a wall.  Stay away from windows and outside doors.  \n\nIf you're outside, move away from power lines or anything that might fall.  Move away from buildings; they could have architectural pieces that could fall on you.  \n\nIf you're in a car, stop until the quake stops.  \n\nDon't use an elevator.  Don't light any matches.  \n\nAnd as they always say, stay calm.  Yeah, right.\n\nMore info on some before and after quake suggestions:\nhttp://www.geo.mtu.edu/UPSeis/bda.html

I'd climb over to  Colorado, turn around and watch the sun set.  Sunsets, no matter where you are are better because you don't have to get up so early,

Anywhere you are comfortable..\n\nAir conditioning won't make you sick.\n\nYou might not want to let it blow directly on you.

A localized storm- often happens with very strong thunderstorms.  Its raining and lightening here, but 5 miles away it is not, for example.  It may be even more localized than that - 1/2 mile away it isnt raining.

Most states vary, but your best best is to ask the appropriate officials of where you live.  Better safe than sorry!  Good luck

depends on the magnitude of the earthquake, how tall the building, the architecture.. many things\n\nthe safest place in a building is under things that wont come down, like big supporting arcs \n\nI would recomend getting out of the building

You have a better chance of being struck by lightning.

It's funny because I've been there before at night and found it to be perfectly safe, but who knows? There are obviously people who disagree with me, so just be smart and safe. If something looks sketchy, get out of the area. It just takes some common sense and you should be fine.

Yes, so be careful out there.

In a public place like a park at night, or in the stall of a restaurant, or on the beach... anywhere where there is potential to get caught is the best place. It'll put some excitement in your life.

Yes water is a highly effective ground which lightening needs to get to the earth. Lightening can strike you even through a window when you are in a house and the window is closed. extremely rare though. The water bed is safer, unless it leaks on you. Don't worry the odds of you being hit is like winning the lottery. I bet you win the lottery.
