⚡️ When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors! ⚡️

Lightning can strike up to 10 miles away from a storm. If you can hear thunder, you're close enough to be struck by lightning. Don't take the risk—move indoors immediately and wait at least 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder before heading back outside.
