IMPACTS
- Lightning strikes are a major risk during this period; all areas have a potential risk for lightning strikes.
- Lightning can strike even when clouds are distant, this is a scientific phenomenon called lightning from the blue.
- The atmosphere is conducive to localized hailstorms and strong winds.
ACTIONS TO TAKE
- If caught in the open, please avoid sheltering under isolated trees or in isolated sheds as these tend to be natural lightning conductors.
- When a thunderstorm threatens, get inside a home or large building,
- Even when lightning is seen in a distance, it might not be safe to be outdoors. The rough rule for noting the safe zone when you see lightning is the 30-30 Rule: If you see lightning and cannot count up to 30 seconds before you hear thunder, then you are not safe from the next lightning strike.
- Where possible, install lightning conductors on buildings.
