Mobile phone risk during storms

BBC NEWS | Health | Mobile phone risk during storms:

"UK doctors have warned of the danger of lightning strikes when using mobile phones outdoors during stormy weather."

I know about the dangers of using a landline during storms,but the case study of a 15 year old girl using a mobile during a storm is a real wake up call. She had a cardiac arrest and had to be revived but the ongoing damage to her is really severe. Given there are some people glued to their mobiles, we need to get the safety message out there.
