Yes, lightning safety is sometimes inconvenient. But it’s better to delay the race (usually for a short time) than to have a situation where dozens of people are injured or killed. We know how to prevent lightning fatalities. Send people indoors!

WORLD RECORD LIGHTNING⚡️⚡️⚡️ A lightning strike over 500 miles long?!? You bet! We were joined last night by Lightning Safety Specialist Chris Vagasky (@COweatherman) to discuss the record breaking lightning strike from 2017. @weatherchannel
A 32-year-old woman who was on Lake Texoma this weekend has died after being struck by lightning. This is the 13th known fatality of 2025, matching last year's total. Being on or near the water is extremely dangerous during thunderstorms, so when thunder roars, go indoors!
Looking to learn more about lightning protection systems? Here's some helpful 411 for homeowners: clickorlando.com/weather/2025/0…
We'd been running below average for lightning fatalities until mid-June but we've seen a significant increase in lightning incidents. We don't want a repeat of 2016, when 25 people were killed in July and August! When thunder roars, go indoors!
We've learned of a lightning fatality from June 26th. A woman in Eagleville, Missouri, was walking through a farm field near her home when she was killed by lightning. We've now recorded 6 lightning fatalities in 2025. The U.S. averages 8 lightning fatalities through July 3.
An Oklahoma woman was killed by lightning under a tree in a cemetery after a storm moved in while she was walking. This is the 5th U.S. lightning fatality of 2025. Never stop under a tree during a thunderstorm. When thunder roars, go indoors! fox23.com/news/a-eufaula…
The First Lady of Uganda has proclaimed June 28 as International Lightning Safety Day, commemorating the day in 2011 when 18 students were killed and another 36 injured in a single lightning flash at Runyanya Primary School in Uganda. m.youtube.com/watch?v=_U_KcF…
Today is International Lightning Safety Day and a few of us are at the Grand Forks Farmer’s Market with the University of North Dakota to share #LightningSafety information.
The National Lightning Safety Council is taking North Dakota by storm today! Three of us are in Grand Forks for a #LightningSafety workshop at the University of North Dakota. visitgrandforks.com/events/und-com…
Why is crouching no longer recommended if you’re outdoors and far from shelter? Simple - by crouching, you’re still exposing yourself to lightning. The risk remains. Even if you’re far from shelter, move as quickly as possible to a vehicle or building. @LtgSafeCouncil
Busting three lightning myths @natwxdesk
Councilmember @COweatherman will be joining The Weather Channel in a few minutes to chat about the spate of lightning injuries in the last week.
18 people were sent to the hospital today after a lightning strike near a beach at Lake Murray in South Carolina! When there are thunderstorms in the area, get away from the beach and to a lightning-safe place! wltx.com/article/news/l…
For day 3 of Lightning Safety Awareness Week, here's a look at top activities that lead to lightning deaths in the U.S. For good reason, they're known as the "Deadly Dozen." #LSAW25 #LightningSafety
Today we explore the science of lightning. Fast facts: ⚡Lightning travels from the cloud to the ground at faster than 200,000 miles per hour ⚡Lightning is hotter than the surface of the sun ⚡Lightning is 1000+ times more powerful than electricity in your walls
Just what are strokes, flashes, and strike points? Strokes are the individual electrical discharges of lightning. Flashes consist of all strokes that occur within 1 second and 10 km. Ground strike points are where they hit ground. Image from video from @brendonme.
The lightning that killed this man came from a storm that was about 7 miles away. You do not have to be getting rained on for lightning to strike. It can strike up to 15 miles away from the core of a storm. Lightning had been within 15 miles of the beach for 50 minutes.

A 29-year-old CO man who was struck by lightning in New Smyrna Beach, FL, has died. He is the 4th lightning fatality of 2025. Beach activities account for the 2nd most lightning fatalities in the U.S. When you're at the beach, head inside when you hear thunder or skies darken!
Why is being indoors important? Almost every single U.S. lightning fatality since 2006 has occurred outside. If you can get inside a substantial building (one with four walls, a roof, and electrical and plumbing in the walls) or a fully-enclosed metal vehicle - you're safe!
