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.
