🌩️ See a FLASH, DASH inside! Every year, lightning kills about 20 people in the United States and severely injures hundreds more. Don't be a statistic. If you see lightning or hear thunder, head into a sturdy building. weather.gov/safety/lightni…

One of our favorite videos showing why huddling around trees is NOT a safe place. When thunder roars or you see a strike, go indoors immediately. Important to note you should never wait until it starts raining. Lightning can strike well beyond the rain. #SafePlaceSelfie

⚡️ For the threat of lightning - Go indoors. Stay away from windows. Don't use any corded electronics. ⚡️ REMEMBER: See A Flash? Dash Inside! 🤳 #SafePlaceSelfie

If your house is ever struck by lightning, get to another lightning-safe place and call the fire department right away. #LightningSafety

There are two tried and true facts about #Lightning: 1. You can’t predict it 2. You can’t prevent it If you are a city considering #LightningSafety and #LightningProtection, reach out to an expert from the Lightning Safety Council or the Lightning Protection Institute!

And you can still be struck by lightning even if it is not raining. If you are outside and hear thunder, it's time to head inside - even if it's dry! When thunder roars, go indoors! #LightningSafety

Many things contribute to this: 1. A more urbanized population and less work taking place outside 2. Improved weather forecasting 3. The ability to detect lightning 4. Education efforts directed at lightning safety

There are about 180 @MLB games each regular season that have #lightning within 8 miles of the ballpark. Too often, these games are played with lightning nearby because it isn’t raining at the ballpark. We continue to call on MLB to make #lightningSafety a priority.

@LtgSafeCouncil Many of the African lightning casualty cases occurred in home because most of them live in a hut (see photo below), which is not lightning safe.

Lightning can and does strike outside of the core of thunderstorms. It doesn't have to be raining on you to be struck by lightning. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning. #LightningSafety

We always say "When thunder roars, go indoors!" Since 2006, almost every #lightning death in the U.S. has occurred outside. If you're inside, away from windows, and not using the plumbing or something connected to the electricity, you are safe from lightning. #lightningSafety
