Lightning occurs in all thunderstorms and when it strikes, it's deadly. This summer more people will be killed by lightning than by tornados. The majority will be golfers, hikers, campers and sportsmen. Ninety percent of these tragedies will occur between May and September. First, beware of thunder.
Lightning often precedes the rain.
So when you hear thunder, go indoors or into an enclosed car. If you're playing golf, walk back to the clubhouse alone. What's amazing is how similar the strikes on golfers are. They're invariably standing with either a golf club or an umbrella in hand. Be sure to remove small metal objects, even from your hair.
