Lightning Saftey
Information found on AccuWeather.com (link in heading)
Spring is in full swing across the United States which means that thunderstorms are becoming more widespread and occurring on a more regular basis.
While only a small number of storms become strong enough to produce damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes, every thunderstorm produces lightning.
Lightning is one of nature's deadliest phenomenon, claiming roughly 55 to 60 lives every year across the United States and injuring hundreds more.
Many lightning strikes are harmless and have very little effect on people and the environment. However, people should keep in mind that it only takes one to endanger lives and cause damage to property.
