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

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.

lightning charges long
distances, so stay away from
them, as well as other metal
objects such as bicycles,
motorcycles, golf carts, and
even golf clubs.
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.
