W: Did you see today's newspaper? That building over there in Centerville was just struck by lightning for the fourth time.

M: I'm not surprised. If the conditions for lightning to strike are right one time, they might be as good another time.

W: Well, I don't take any chances. If I'm caught in a thunderstorm, I will look for a building or a closed car. Also, I was told that if you're stuck outdoors, the best thing you can do is to keep yourself close to the ground and avoid bodies of water.

M: To tell you the truth, even when I'm at home, I don't take baths or showers during a thunderstorm. And I don't use anything that works electrically. Maybe I'm too anxious.

W: I wouldn't say that. According to the article, lightning starts thousands of fires every year in the United States alone. Hundreds of people are injured or even killed. I think you're just being sensible.
