The threat of severe weather in the northeastern U.S. today is a good reminder to think about how to stay safe while attending outdoor events when storms threaten.

Don’t let lightning catch you off guard.

⚡Follow the 30-minute rule: wait at least half an hour after you see lightning or hear thunder before heading back outside.

Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!
