  1. Away from windows and doors ✔
  2. Beside an open window
  3. On an outdoor porch

Why: A building protects you, but windows and doors are its weak spots. Stay farther inside and skip electrical appliances until the storm passes.

Huh, didn't know that: Lightning safety also means no corded phone calls and no shower or bath during the storm.
