Thunder and Lighting Policy

When thunder roars, GO INDOORS! 

In a thunderstorm, no place outdoors is safe.

Get to a safe place. A safe location is a fully enclosed building with wiring and plumbing. Sheds, picnic shelters, tents or covered porches do NOT protect you from lightning. If no sturdy building is close by, get into a metal-roofed vehicle and close all the windows.
