The best way to protect yourself from lightning is to plan ahead Don't get caught outside in a thunderstorm - there is no safe place outside in a thunderstorm Substantial buildings and hard-topped vehicles are the safest. Sheds, balconies, porches, and open vehicles aren't safe #LSAW26

National Weather Association @nwas.org · 25/06/2026
For organized outdoor activities, the National Lightning Safety Council and the NWS recommend that organizers have a lightning safety plan and follow it without exception. The plan should give clear and specific safety guidelines to eliminate errors in judgment. #LSAW26

National Weather Association @nwas.org · 24/06/2026
When lightning strikes a home or building, it often follows the wiring or plumbing to ground You don’t want to be in contact with anything connected to the home’s wiring or plumbing Metal components of windows or doors could provide a path for the lightning to enter the home #LSAW26

#LSAW26: No place outside is safe during a thunderstorm, but there are some activities that result in more injuries and fatalities than others. These twelve activities contributed most to US lightning fatalities in the last 20 years. In these situations, you're generally isolated and exposed.
