The Texas City Fire Marshal wants to remind you:
Summer storms can develop quickly, and lightning is one of the most dangerous weather hazards.
If you hear thunder, take it seriously.
⚡ Go indoors immediately
⚡ Stay away from water
⚡ Avoid open areas and tall trees
⚡ Wait at least 30 minutes after the last thunder before returning outside
Remember:
If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning.
Stay weather aware and stay safe, Texas City!
