- Avoid: tall objects, such as a tall isolated tree in an open area, fields, beaches or a water boat, any metal objects such as agricultural machinery, farm equipment, motorcycles, bicycles, etc.
- If you are in the woods, look for shelter in an area with lower trees.
- If you are in an open area, go to a low area, such as a valley.
