Today is day four of Severe Weather Preparedness week! Today's focus is lighting safety. Here's some helpful tips to make sure you and your family stay safe during a lighting storm. -To determine whether it’s safe to be outside, remember the 30/30 Rule. Go indoors if you see lightning and if you cannot count to 30 before hearing thunder. Stay indoors for 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder. -Avoid showering or bathing during thunderstorms, as plumbing and bathroom fixtures can conduct electricity from lightning.

Today is day three of Georgia Severe Weather Preparedness week! Tornadoes are some of nature’s most violent storms, generating wind speeds that can exceed 250 miles per hour. It’s important for everyone in the family to know the safest place to go during a tornado. Storm cellars and basements provide the best protection. If underground shelter is not available, go to an interior room or hallway on the lowest flood possible. Use the information from this sheet to protect your family and find the safest place in your home.
