Judy Zimmerman, lightning danger LANCASTER From now through August, far mers of Pennsylvania should be especially alert to the dangers of lightning storms, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration cautions. The summer months traditionally have accounted for the greatest number of deaths and injuries from lightning in the state. In the past 21 years, 74 of Pennsylvania’s 89 reported lightning deaths happened during June, July, and August, as did 238 of the 264 reported injuries. Last year, when on a national basis the fewest number of lightning deaths in two decades were recorded, Pennsylvania had none, according to NOAA’s •Environmental Data and Information Service. Lightning generally is recognized as the most deadly of the natural hazard killers, surpassing both tornadoes and hurricanes in MEMO HAY, STRAW & EAR CORN SALE EVERY MONDAY A< 11A.M.

Watch out for the number of lives it takes in an average year. One of the reasons for 1979’s low death toll was a lack of general thunderstorm ac tivity in June. Four fatalities occurred in June nationally, as com pared to an average of 23 in previous years. In addition, greater public un derstanding of the dangers of lightning may have helped. Safety precautions are simple. If you’re outdoors, go inside a house or large building, or get into a car. If you must stay outside, keep away from metal pipes, wire clotheslines, and fences. Get away from lakes, the ocean, or any body of water, as well as from tractors and all farm equipment. Railroad tracks can carry NEW GRAVELY MOWERS BUILT TOUGH. LIKE OUR TRACTORS. Medium Weights 1.

In a forest, go to a low area where there are small trees, and in an open area go to a ravine or valley, but watch out for flash floods. If caught in the open during a light ning storm, crouch down. This way you’ll be a lot lower, making a smaller target. Don’t he down; the wet earth can carry light ning. NOAA lists several other important “don’ts ” Don’t use a telephone during a lightning storm except in an emergency. Don’t go into a small building that stands alone, or under a large tree that stands by itself.
