Lightning Awareness

July 26, 2018 By ann

About 30 people are killed by lightning each year and hundreds more are injured, some suffering devastating and permanent neurological injuries. About two-thirds of the deaths are associated with outdoor recreational activites.


The National Weather Service recommends that outdoor recreation organizers have an established lightning safety plan and follow it every time inclement weather conditions are present.
