Use a cellphone under trees in rain.
Learned few days ago that it's not actually dangerous, at least doesn't make you have a higher change to be struck by thunder.
... where in the world was/is this a thing? That's the dumbest thing I've heard xD
To be honest, I feel like I'd be more concerned with my phone getting water damaged, than getting struck by lightning.
It's not a good idea to stand under a tree when it's lightning, but if you really want to for some reason, then don't stand next to a trunk.
Can't be struck by thunder unless you're AC/DC
