National Lightning Safety Awareness Week
Date: June 21-27

Most lightning victims are not struck during the worst of a thunderstorm but rather before or after. This is because lightning can strike as far as 25 miles away from a thunderstorm. So, when thunder roars, go indoors!

In 2026, Wisconsin has already seen a death due to lightning.

On June 13, 2026, Nara Organics recalled all Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula.

Nara Organics infant formula is a powdered infant formula that is sold at Target retail stores, Target.com, and Nara.com. This brand of formula makes up less than 1% of all infant formula available in the United States, and shortages of infant formula resulting from this recall are not expected.
