When There's Thunder, Take Cover

reference card imageEver think the possibility of being struck by lightning is so slim you aren't in danger? Think again! If you hear thunder, it's your roof you want to be under. The easiest way to remember what to do is following the 30/30 rule: if you see lightning, count 30 seconds before you hear thunder. If it's less than 30 seconds, take cover. Once indoors, if you don't hear thunder for 30 minutes, it's safe to go back outside.
