A good idea and something that I will teach my children is to study clouds and know which clouds have the potential to become thunder storms. I'm no where near perfect on this but I feel extremely confident in picking out "thunder heads" (what they were called when I was in school) and keeping an eye on them throughout the day. If you take the time to understand what it looks like and how it is reacting to the heat(what will help it build up into a thunder storm) you can come really close to dodging most storms. I have been caught before with the ones that build up out of no where but more often then not I can keep clear of the big storms.
