Lightning
At

Lake Tahoe

It

Can

Happen

At

Any

Time

You will hear Lightning before it strikes.

When you hear it,

ACT IMMEDIATELY

 

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HEAR THUNDER!!

  • Place a non conductive material between you and the ground.
  • Get away from water, hilltops, open spaces, anything metal, tall lone objects such at trees, poles or towers.
  • If caught in the open, make for the lowest possible place you can find.
  • Get rid of all metal and lie down. (climbing gear, belt buckle, metal frame packs, keys.

If you feel your hair stand up, this indicates that a strike in about to happen near you.

Crouch with your feet close together adn place your hand over your ears. It the stirke misses you, the thunder will deafen you.

I have been hit my lightning and it is no fun.

Take Lightning Seriously!!!
