May I suggest you pull the sheets up, suck your thumb and cuddle your teddy.

Is it wise to be _in_ the bed?

If they're under the bed, it's easier to mop up the puddle.

I know this is not in keeping with the general look and feel of this forum, but cars basically act as a Farraday cage which is definitely safe.

Don't get out of the car for three days though. The static discharge will kill you. Or turn you invisible. Or give you some other super-power, I forget which.

I think I'll stick to the hotel room - watching the footie....
There is nothing safe about being in a car in Saudi......

If you're worried (ahhhh), find a car and sit in it until it passes - it is one of the safest places to be.

There is a 'kin great electrical storm coming my way.....
Lightening flashes every 30 seconds...
Thunder following.... a bit later....
Really strong winds....
Trees bending....

I love those tropical storms. Been caught in a few. Once got hit by a flash storm while travelling on a glass sky tram over to Sentosa in Singapore. Lightening bounces off the cable cars and dancing all around.

We were the last on, looked back to see that everyone else had been stopped. You could feel the heat of the electricity it was so close.

Sounds great.
