Thank you guys for all your replies. I understand that lightning produces some kind of electrical charges that post some hazard to people. Since this lightning and thunderstorms are naturally occurring in the environment, can you suggest ways on how we can be safe aside from staying away from conductors of electricity?

Sirona, thank you for your time reading and responding to my post. This thought flashed back from what I have heard lately from news about some men died from lightning in Bangladesh. Some were killed as they got shelter from a cows yard. So anybody can be killed even inside a shelter? i'm just curious. What is in the lightning that can kill or even hurt people?

My mother told me not to wear anything with red, going near to animals, or go out of the house during thunderstorms. Is there any scientific explanation or relevance of wearing red to thunderstorms and lightning? Your response is highly appreciated. Thank you
