Lightning Safety Tips

5/1/2018 (Permalink)

Although lightning can strike at anytime, the chance for lightning increases in the summer months.  Stay safe with these basic tips from the National Weather Service,

• Have a lightning safety plan and cancel/postpone outdoor activities if thunderstorms are expected.
• If you do get caught outside, avoid high ground, open spaces and all metal objects including electric wires, fences, etc.  Seek shelter in a substantial building or fully enclosed metal vehicle.
• If you are indoors, stay away from doors and windows.  Do not use the telephone.  Consider unplugging computers, power tools & TV sets.  Lightning may strike exterior electric/phone lines, inducing shocks to inside equipment.
