Answer 1

Lightning Safety Awareness Week is the week of June 24-30. The goal of the campaign by the National Weather Service (NOAA) is to make people aware of what to do if they are caught outside during a thunderstorm.

There have been four fatalities attributed to lightning so far in 2012. The yearly average of lightning deaths in the U.S. is 54, according to NOAA. The most frequent outdoor activity where people are killed by lightning is fishing. Other activities with high lightning fatality rates are playing golf, camping and sheltering under trees.

The most important thing to know is that there is no safe place to be sheltered from lightning outdoors. When you first hear thunder, you should immediately seek shelter in a "safe" building or car.

NOAA describes a safe building as one that has four walls, a floor, a roof and has plumbing or wiring. A safe car is one that is fully enclosed with a metal top.

Examples of buildings or structures that will not provide protection from a lightning strike are car ports, open garages, covered patios, picnic shelters, beach pavilions, golf shelters, tents, baseball dugouts, sheds and greenhouses.

Once inside the "safe" building, avoid showers, bath tubs, sinks and electronic equipment. Also avoid using electronic equipment inside the car and avoid touching anything metal.

After seeking shelter in a building or car, remain inside until 30 minutes after you hear the last clap of thunder.

There will be times when you are participating in outdoor events that will keep you from seeking shelter. Follow these safety tips if a thunderstorm is approaching and you are outdoors with no shelter nearby.
