Preparedness tips before a thunderstorm
Create a plan for you and your family in the event of a thunderstorm—at home, at work and at relatives’ or friends’ homes that you visit frequently. Always be alert to changing weather conditions.
Remember, the following are guidelines if a thunderstorm is likely in your area:
• Listen to radio, television, or NOAA Weather Radio for weather reports and emergency information.
• Postpone outdoor activities.
• Remember "If thunder roars, go indoors" because no place outside is safe when lightning is in the area. Everyone should stay indoors until 30 minutes after they hear the last clap of thunder.
• Get inside a home, building, or hard top automobile (not a convertible). Although you may be injured if lightning strikes your car, you are much safer inside a vehicle than outside.
• Unplug appliances and other electrical items such as computers and turn off air conditioners. Power surges from lightning can cause serious damage.
• Move vehicles, patio furniture, garbage cans, etc. into the garage and secure any other outdoor objects that could blow away or cause damage
• Shutter windows and secure outside doors. If shutters are not available, close window blinds, shades, or curtains.
• Long-term preparations: Remove dead or rotting trees and branches that could fall and cause injury or damage during a severe thunderstorm.
