Where should you not be during a thunderstorm?

Standing Under A tree!


It is dangerous to stand under a large tree during a thunderstorm?

Yes, it is dangerous to stand under a large tree during a thunderstorm because trees are prone to lightning strikes, which can be risky for anyone in close proximity. It is safer to seek shelter indoors or in a hard-topped vehicle during a thunderstorm.


Is it true that if you stand under a tree when its raining you can get struck by lightening?

If it was raining, lightning is not likely to strike at all. However, if you were in a thunderstorm there is a good chance of the tree being struck; from that, there is a slight possibility that you could get hit by it as well. The above person is right. Here is what I want to put: Of course it is. When the lightning hits the tree, the electricity travels through the whole tree, and when the tree is burned down, then were else does the electricity have to go then to strike you. So no matter how dumb it may sound or how confident you are, NEVER ATTEMPT THIS! (Side affects if you choose to do otherwise may include serious consequences including death.)

If the electrons and protons attract in what way is it dangerous for you to stand under a tree when there is lightning?

The fact that electrons and protons attract has little if anything to do with lightning or why it is dangerous. Lightning is a huge burst of stored electric charge. That charge becomes a very high current through the air, but electric current prefers to go through things like water and metal, because it's less resisitive than air. This means that trees are more likely to get hit by lightning (as are other tall objects like churches and buildings). So, standing under one means it is quite possible you will get hit by the lightning too.
