When storms are predicted, stay close to home port. Take a vhs marine radio for updates from Arnold...ok, I don't think it's Arnold anymore but who ever that voice belongs to..and always keep an eye to the sky.
Keep a bag on board with rain gear. If you have a cabin in your boat have your guests go below if a thunderstorm hits and tell them not to touch any metal.
Taking a Seamanship class will help you learn more tips. The US PowerSquadron holds them once you taking their basic boating course and join up.
