There are various dangers associated with thunderstorms, depending on where you are and what you are doing. Here are some:
- Lightning possibility increases, even if the thunderstorm is not yet to your location.
- Hard rain can reduce visibility. Combined with wet roads make driving more hazardous.
- Some thunderstorms can produce tornadoes, given the right conditions.
- Hail is another potential hazard from thunderstorms.
- High wind gusts can blow debris, making 'missile hazards'. Also, tree branches can break off and fall on the road or power lines or your car or house, or even you.
- Boating is more dangerous, because along with the increased wind, and reduced visibility, the waves are higher.
A2. Golfers are at a high risk, for they are in the open in areas with few trees. And they have metal associated with them.
Your best defence against lightning is to crouch down with your feet very close together. Do not shelter under trees - especially if isolated.
