• Lightning's unpredictability increases the risk to individuals and property
• Lightning often strikes outside of heavy rain and may occur as far as ten miles away from any rainfall
• "Heat lightning" is actually lightning from a thunderstorm too far away from thunder to be heard. However, the storm may be moving in your direction
• Most lightning deaths and injuries occur when people are caught outdoors in the summer months during the afternoon and evening
• Lightning strike victims carry no electrical charge and should be attended to immediately. Most people struck by lightning are not killed but are injured significantly.
