Obvious answer is to get inside but what if you’re in the middle of nowhere?
Pray.
Saw the storm coming an hour after we left the last "town" in northern Colorado (was it two or three buildings?). No ditch, no tree, no house. The storm caught us, complete with thunder, lightning, and hail. Kept riding. Finally saw ranch buildings a mile off the road, and clear weather half a mile ahead. Rode to daylight.
Sometimes there's nothing else you can do.
