It's National Lightning Safety Week! ⚡️
Summer means sunshine, splash pads, and afternoon thunderstorms. Remember: if you can hear thunder, you're close enough to be struck by lightning.
Keep your family safe by remembering these lightning safety tips:
🏠 Move indoors immediately when you hear thunder
🚫 Avoid open fields, playgrounds, and bodies of water
🌳 Never shelter under a tree
📱 Stay away from corded electronics and plumbing during a storm
⏰ Wait at least 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder before heading back outside
