I have heard that you should not play video games when there is lightning outside because the lightning could come through the video game controller and zap you. When I was a kid, I always had to turn my games off during a storm.

Technology has gotten better at this, but I still do not trust it. Talking on the corded phone during a lightning storm is asking for trouble. So, end that conversation for until the storm is over.

I understand that from time to time if you sail a lot, you could end up in a lightning storm. If this does happen, then don’t touch the cables or anything. Keep your head in the cabin and wait until it passes.

1. Swim
