The 30-30 lightning rule

Environment Canada has been actively promoting the 30-30 lightning rule for the past number of years. If there is 30 seconds or less between the flash of lightning and the rumble of thunder, you should seek the best shelter available. The second, and equally important, part of this rule is that you should remain in that shelter for a full 30 minutes after the last flash of lightning or rumble of thunder since lightning can travel from the back end of the storm for a number of kilometres. Remember, even though skies may begin to clear in the wake of a thunderstorm, lightning is still a threat for a full 30 minutes after that last flash or rumble. If no solidly constructed building is available for shelter, a metal-topped car or truck will provide lightning protection provided you are not touching anything metal inside the vehicle. If caught outside away from buildings or vehicles, you should avoid tall objects such as trees or light standards and things like metal fences. You should seek a low-lying area and crouch down on the balls of your feet to minimize contact with the ground.
