Weather, lightning and storms, sentence 4
The real safety rule is simple: when thunder roars, go indoors, or into a car with a metal roof, where the electricity flows round the metal shell to the ground; the rubber tyres have nothing to do with it.
Who acts: real safety rule, thunder, electricity, rubber tyres · What happens: be, roar, go, flow, have, do · To what, where: nothing
