For the lightning one, it's probably too late to hike several hours back (leave the area). Find a solid shelter like a house, cabin, or vehicle (not a tent or shed), if not available try to find a valley or low ground but not somewhere with standing water. Avoid trees and other tall objects.
If stuck in the open or your hair starts to stand on its end before you can find shelter lightning is possibly imminent. The best thing to do is assume a position where you crouch on the balls of your feet, feet together, head tucked down, hands over your ears. Don't lay down on the ground.....C/P
