Severe Thunderstorm Safety

• The best defense against thunderstorms is to stay inside a sturdy building or shelter that can protect you from deadly lightning, large hail, damaging winds, flooding rain, and tornadoes
• Once in a shelter, stay away from windows and avoid electrical equipment and plumbing
• Remember to bring pets inside
• Postpone outdoor activities until the storms have passed
• If caught outside, take shelter in a sturdy enclosed building or hard top automobile immediately. Avoid open spaces, isolated objects, high ground and metallic objects.
• Get out of boats and away from bodies of water
• If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning.
