When thunder roars, go indoors!
Lightning can strike miles away from a storm, often with little warning. At the first sound of thunder, immediately move inside a sturdy building or a hard‑topped vehicle. Stay away from windows, electrical equipment, and plumbing until 30 minutes after the last rumble. Your quick actions can save your life—remember, if you can hear thunder, you’re close enough to be struck.
