Electrical Storms and Boating
If you enjoy boating you also
need to be a weatherwatcher,
reminds Joseph R Cardenuto,
Extension recreation specialist
at The Pennsylvania State
University It’s especially im
portant to keep off the water
during thunderstorms since the
boat is the highest point on the
water and a likely place for
lightning to strike
