2 . Hello, my name is Sabrina. I was around lightning while taking a hike in the Grand Canyon, but I was safe because I knew the following tips.
Outdoors If there is a thunderstorm (雷雨), try to find a low place to stay in until the storm is over. You can also go into a nearby building or a car. Make sure that the windows of it are closed. Do not stand under a tree or use the umbrella with metal things. If the lightning is around you, do a “lightning couch”! Squat down (蹲下) with your heels (脚后跟) together and put your hands over your ears. Remember not to lie down. |
Indoors During a thunderstorm, stay away from anything that is made of metal such as TVs, refrigerators because lightning can come into the house through wires (电线). When there is a thunderstorm outside, don’t stand near the windows. And don’t take a bath when there is a thunderstorm. Never use the phone during a thunderstorm, because lightning can hit the phone line and travel through the line and hit you. |

10 . Earthquakes usually come without warning. What should you do if this happens to you? An earthquake is dangerous, but there is still something you can do to protect yourself.
Stay calm as the earth begins to shake.
Your chance of survival in an earthquake goes up if you can keep calm. Staying calm is not easy, but it can save your life.
If you are inside when the earthquake starts, hide under a table or a bed.
You need to have something strong over your head to protect you from falling objects. Do not stand near walls or windows and stay out of the kitchen. The kitchen is dangerous because of many glass objects.
If you are outside, get to an open area as fast as you can.
Stay away from buildings and tress. If you are in a car, pull over (靠边停) to a place where there are no trees or tall buildings and stay in the car. If you are close to the sea, try to get as far away from the water as possible. Earthquakes can cause huge waves (浪) that can really harm the people nearby.
When the earthquake is over, there is still plenty of danger.
For example, fires often come with an earthquake. If you see a fire, quickly move outdoors to an open area.
Always remember to hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
