How could we prevent being hit by lightning when it is raining and we are not inside a building?

Question:
E.g. Is it safe to stay under trees, or get in a car, or running, or just staying in the same place? Is it safe to speak on the mobile phone, or keep an umbrella, or keep in hands something made by steel? etc.

Second, in some cases it is much safer to stand under a tree. For example, if you're out riding your bike in a forested area, it would be foolish for you to remain out in the open on the trail; get yourself into the trees.

Don't get on your cell phone. And if you're indoors, don't even get on a regular telephone, as a lightning strike to a phone line can travel through the line and into your phone and then into you.

truck as a first car?

First off, never stand under a tree! Something tall like that will attract lightning. The best thing to do is get in a car.If lightning hits the car, the rubber tires will absorb the shock and no one will get hurt. I don't know about talking on the phone, I wouldn't do it but I'm not sure.Umbrellas wouldn't help, but probably wouldn't be unsafe.

It is perfectly safe to stand under a tree, You have the power of the Lord on your side. In fact, You can also hold a really long metal rod and point it at the sky and say "C'mon lightning, You can't touch me cause I'm a child of God." Trust me, you will be perfectly fine.
