Because electric currents could shock you.
Addition: Lightning is attracted to conductive objects such as metal, especially if the conductive object is connected to the ground where the electricity can discharge or complete its circuit. We are made of 90% water, and water is one of the most conductive elements in the world.
In the case of lightning from a thunderstorm, touching the metal or any other conductive and connected object, it can be electrically charged or very hot. You could burn yourself or become part of the electrical current.
Because some metal objects are conductive... So if the lighting strikes the metal object, and you're touching it.... you're going to get electrocuted.
You should not stand with your legs apart in a thunderstorm because placing your legs together minimizes the amount of electric current that will pass through your body. Always stand with your feet together if you can't get out of a thunderstorm.
Because tornadoes are produce by thunderstorm and they can KILL you.
the wind that usually accompanies thunderstorms can pick up debris and shatter the glass causing wounds
Because tornadoes are actually produced by severe thunderstorms. Therefore, anytime you're dealing with a severe thunderstorm, you have to be alert for the potential of it producing a tornado. Tornadoes are the most dangerous type of event a thunderstorm can produce.
There could be positive charges on the ground so chouch on all 4s & keep your head low. Do not lie on the ground full-lengh.
Because it will shock u
There will Probably lightning in the thunderstorm and the lightning is Probably going to hit the tallest object and electrocute anyone and anything that is near the struck object. Also the tall object might fall over during the thunderstorm and crush anyone or anything nearby.
Standing Under A tree!
During thunderstorms, avoid places where lightning may strike. Also avoid places that conduct electricity, such as metal objects and bodies of water.
no
during a thunderstorm you should get inside away from metal objects and water, if you have a tornado shelter get in it and turn on a battery powered radio to the weather. don't stand in any open, high,electric areas and especially don't go near any trees. just stay home with a good book and a battery powered flashlight. that's what i do.
It will ruin our flag
Sheltering under a tree during a thunderstorm is not safe because trees are a prominent target for lightning strikes. Lightning tends to strike taller objects, and trees can conduct the electricity from a lightning strike to the ground, putting anyone near them at risk of electrocution. It is safer to find shelter in a sturdy building or a fully enclosed vehicle during a thunderstorm.
You should not stand with your legs apart in a thunderstorm because placing your legs together minimizes the amount of electric current that will pass through your body. Always stand with your feet together if you can't get out of a thunderstorm.
No, you should NEVER be on a lake during a thunderstorm, it is one of the worst places to be.
A flag should not be flown during a major thunderstorm, tornado, etc.
Persons should also seek shelter indoors during a thunderstorm to avoid being struck by lightning.
