21% of lightning fatalities in the last 20 years occurred when people were fishing, at the beach, or boating. If you’re engage in one of those activities, stay aware of your surroundings and go to a safe place when thunderstorms move in. When thunder roars, go indoors!

It's amazing that more people aren't injured or killed by lightning each year - and we already see around 25,000 fatalities and 250,000 injuries around the world each year! It doesn't matter where you are: When thunder roars, go indoors! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvy3...

Most people who are struck by lightning survive. They don’t carry an electric charge, so if you see someone who is struck by lightning, call 9-1-1 and begin first aid immediately.
In the last 20 years, only 3 of 517 U.S. lightning fatalities occurred when a person was in a substantial building or fully enclosed metal vehicle. This is why we say "When thunder roars, go indoors!" When you're inside, avoid contact with plumbing or plugged-in devices.
#LSAW26: No place outside is safe during a thunderstorm, but there are some activities that result in more injuries and fatalities than others. These twelve activities contributed most to US lightning fatalities in the last 20 years. In these situations, you're generally isolated and exposed.

As we always like to do at the beginning of Lightning Safety Awareness Week (#LSAW26), here’s a spelling lesson. We are talking about lightning this week. We hope we are lighting your way to lightening your concerns about being safe around lightning.
Today is the first day of Lightning Safety Awareness Week. It’s also Father’s Day. Share your favorite lightning puns and dad jokes. I’m positive this will be a hit. If you don’t find this current attempt at engagement to be funny, you’re grounded.

Three people were killed by lightning across the street from the White House on August 4, 2022. Roughly 4,300 people will be at the UFC event tonight, with a 85,000 tickets allotted for a watch party at the Ellipse. Hopefully there’s a plan in place to get all of them to safe places.
