Lightning Can Be Deadly – Lightning Awareness Day

Lightning Kills – The National Weather Service Meteorologist Jared Leighton says Lightning is deadly.

Wednesday is Lightning Awareness Day as we continue Severe Weather Awareness week.  Leighton says the best protection from lightning is to get inside.

Leighton warns of what has been called the “Bolt From The Blue”

If you can not get into a permanent structure, a vehicle is a good place to take cover.  Boats and boat houses are NOT good places to be in lightning.
