What is the main idea of this paragraph?
Thunderstorms are dangerous. Every thunderstorm has lightning, and lightning kills more people each year than tornadoes or hurricanes! Do you know what to do to keep safe during a thunder- storm? First, go inside a sturdy building or a vehicle and close the windows. Also, the National Weather Service recommends that you stay inside for at least thirty minutes after the last rumble of thunder is heard. Do not use telephones or electrical equipment. Avoid taking showers or baths. If you are unable to get safely inside a building, avoid taking cover beneath tall, isolated trees. Also avoid water, high ground, and metal objects. Knowing what to do (and what not to do) during a thunderstorm could save your life.
Thunderstorms can be dangerous but there are certain things you can do to stay safe.
