30-30 Rule
When Thunder Roars,
Go Indoors!
If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to
the storm to be struck by lightning. Lightning can strike as far away as 10 miles from the area where it is raining.
If you can see lightning flashes, count the seconds
after a flash until you hear thunder. If that time is 30 seconds or less, the storm is within 6 miles and is
dangerous. Seek shelter immediately.
Wait at least 30 minutes after the last clap
of thunder before leaving shelter. Don't
be fooled by sunshine or blue sky! Lightning is more likely to come from the back edge of a thundercloud than from the
front edge. |
