• Flooded rivers remain a potential hazard: even if it has not rained heavily in the area. heavy rains may have occurred upstream. Flash flooding may occur especially in wetlands and near river plains
• The stormy morning skies may allow a few outdoor activities such as weeding. applying fertilizers or even hanging laundry. but remember: when thunder roars it is best to be indoors!
• Try to avoid isolated sheds trees and even the kitchen area especially in rural settings. These are usually prone to lightning strikes. Stay Weather-Ready and Environment-Safe.
