    Electric storms occur when electrically charged clouds approach each other or the ground, causing a spark between the two. There are four types of thunderstorms: single cell, multicellular, squall line, and supercell. To prevent injury from lightning, it is advised to squat low to the ground, move away from hills or peaks if outside, and take shelter inside a building if possible. During a storm, one should avoid metal gates, appliances, and trees, and take refuge inside a car or building instead of being outside or near windows. After a storm passes, check for injuries and notify utilities of any cable damage.
