feedWhen Thunder Roars
... Go Indoors!
Yeah, I know, kinda cheesy, but I gotta tell ya, I'm terrified of the big flashy lightning-ma-bobs, and I'm not afraid to head for the door.
NWS Lightning Safety Program, Photos, Medical, Brochures more.: "In the United States, an average of 66 people are killed each year by lightning. In 2006, there were 47 confirmed deaths and 246 confirmed injuries. The injury number is likely far lower than it should be because many people do not seek help or doctors do not record it as a lightning injury.Still, I'm also strangely fascinated, and attracted by the severe storms. I want to sit by the window and watch them roll in. And I want to bury myself deep underground. And I want to fly through them in an airplane. And I want to be in a bomb shelter. So many conflicting, complementary emotions. I wish there was a thunderstorm right now. That would be awesome. I also wish, of course, for a night of peace, and cool breezes, and sleeping dogs.
