Document Summary
Visit the website struckbylightning. org for questions 1 & 2: complete the following table by indicating which state or states had the most deaths and which ones had the most injuries in the given years. Be specific: if you are outdoors the safest place to get to is inside a building or inside a vehicle. If you can"t get inside then the best thing to do is to avoid open fields, the top of a hill or a ridge top. You also need to stay away from tall objects or isolated objects like trees, but if you are surrounded by trees like in a forest then it is best to stay by shorter trees. If you are in a group then you need to spread out so the current doesn"t travel through everyone. When you are camping in an open area you should set up your camp in a low area like a valley.
