As temperatures begins to cool for fall, we head into a new season for weather. Here are some tips to help prepare you for various storm situations:

Lightning Safety Tips

Seek shelter inside a building with plumbing pipes and wiring, like your home or a store.
Avoid contact with conducting pathways, like plumbing, corded phones, televisions and electronic equipment. Appliances, when plugged in, can conduct electricity from the outside.
Use only a cordless telephone during an electrical storm and stand away from the phone charging base.
Avoid household chores, like doing the dishes, and delay showering until after a storm passes, as pipes are conduits for electricity and touching them can result in an electrical shock.
Stay indoors for 30 minutes after a storm passes, as lightning can strike miles from a storm’s center.
