| Safety Share: Lightning Strike Distance | |
|
Statistics show that between 60-80 people are killed by lightning each year. Lightning, from its source, has a 10 mile range; if you hear thunder, you are within striking distance of lightning. Do not take shelter under trees, stay away from windows and doors and stay off things that put you in direct contact with electricity such as computers and corded telephones. Take shelter inside a home, large building or hard-topped vehicle right away. To be safe, wait 30 minutes after hearing the last clap of thunder before leaving your shelter.
