Do not take shelter under an umbrella with metallic end during lightning why?
Metal conducts electricity, so if lightning were to strike an umbrella with a metallic end, the metal would increase the chances of the lightning being conducted through the umbrella and potentially harming the person underneath. It is safer to seek shelter in a sturdy building or a fully enclosed vehicle during a lightning storm.
Can lightning go thought windows?
Yes, lightning can go through windows as they do not offer protection from electrical currents. However, the chances of a window being struck directly by lightning are relatively low compared to other objects nearby. It is still safer to stay away from windows during a thunderstorm.
Why doesn't lightning hit a place twice?
This is not true. Some places have been hit many times. The Empire State Building, for example, is hit by lightning an average of 100 times per year. If you looked at it from a simple perspective, most spots are never hit by lightning, but one bolt does not affect the chances of another striking. So the chances of the same spot getting hit twice completely at random are extremely low. However, lightning is not completely random. Tall objects naturally attract lightning, so objects such as towers and mountains tend to be struck fairly frequently.
What can reduce the chances of a lightning strike?
stay away from any tall or exposed objects: trees, lamp posts and especially anything with more than 500 volts. this will reduce the chances. if you have a basement use it, an attic is not a good choice and u know when people say the bath tub will help. it's absolute rubbish!
What if lightning struck down and you had a lightning rod on top of your house?
It may strike the lightning rod. A properly installed lightning rod will prevent a lightning strike from setting your house on fire, at least for the most part. The energy of the bolt is carried by the rod and the ground wire. This system "contains" the electric current by offering it a low resistance path to ground. If lightning strikes a tree, a power pole, or a house, it travels through the tree, pole or house. This high current can super heat that wood or other materials and cause them to explode or burst into flames. Damage will result, and very possibly a fire. The lightning rod minimizes the chances of extensive damage and fire in the event of a strike on a house.

Why does carrying an umbrella increase your chances of being hit by lightning?
Umbrellas, especially those with conductive metal frames, can conduct electrical charges from the ground, making a shorter path for any lightning discharge that occurs nearby. Non-conductive handles of plastic or wood reduce this danger. Given the very low odds of a lightning strike hitting relatively close to you, the increased risk is not very great, but it does exist.
Would a car tire on the roof of a shack in a squatter camp prevent lightning from striking the shack?
No. The car tire will not reduce its chances of being hit by lightning. If anything the tire would add height, which could increase the chances of being hit, though this increase in chance would be negligible.
