⚡ Severe Weather Preparedness Week: Lightning Safety

Lightning is one of the leading causes of weather-related deaths in the United States. Remember: When thunder roars, go indoors!

🌩️ If you can hear thunder, you are already at risk.

✅ Stay Safe During Lightning:
🏠 Get inside a sturdy building or vehicle immediately
⏳ Remain indoors until 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder
🌳 If no shelter is available, do not stand under a tree or stay in an open area
🚫 Avoid contact with metal surfaces

📵 Don’t use a telephone or other electrical equipment unless it’s an emergency
🛁 Do not take a bath or shower during a thunderstorm

Stay weather-aware and stay safe!

🌪️ Severe Weather Preparedness Week: Tornado Safety

Knowing the difference between a watch and a warning can save lives:

⚠️ Tornado Watch
Conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop, but there is no immediate threat. Stay alert and be prepared.

🚨 Tornado Warning
A tornado has been detected, and an imminent threat to life and property has developed. Take shelter immediately.

🏠 If a tornado is imminent:
✅ Move to a pre-designated shelter on the lowest floor
✅ Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside
✅ Stay away from windows

🚗 Automobiles are not safe shelter — get out and seek a sturdy building.

🏚️ Mobile homes are dangerous in tornadoes — leave immediately and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy nearby building or storm shelter.
