Detailed Solution

We should take the following precautions during a thunderstorm to protect ourselves from lightning:
We are not supposed to take shelter under an isolated and tall tree. This is because an isolated tall tree is more likely to be hit by lightning due to its nearness to the clouds. We should take shelter under a small tree.
We are not supposed to sit near a window during lightning. Open garages, storage sheds and metal sheds are also not safe places to take shelter during lightning.
We are not supposed to take shelter under an umbrella with a metallic end during lightning. This is because the metallic end of an umbrella may act as a conductor for lightning and harm us.
