It can strike from over <strong>15 miles away<\/strong>, travel through plumbing and wiring, and hit the same place more than once (yes, the Empire State Building gets struck about 23 times a year). Despite its power, lightning is often underestimated, especially during summer when outdoor fun is in full swing. That\u2019s why <strong>Lightning Safety Awareness Week<\/strong>, launched in 2001 by the National Weather Service, continues to play a vital role in public education. The goal? To reduce injuries and fatalities by helping people understand the risks and take action when storms threaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atlantic-ii.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/lightning-safety-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Lightning Awareness Week\" class=\"wp-image-163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atlantic-ii.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/lightning-safety-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.atlantic-ii.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/lightning-safety-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.atlantic-ii.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/lightning-safety-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.atlantic-ii.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/lightning-safety.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Know the Signs, Make a Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some key safety tips to share with your family, friends, and community:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>If you hear thunder, go indoors.<\/strong> You\u2019re close enough to be struck.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid water, plumbing, and electronics<\/strong> during a storm\u2014even inside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay away from trees, open fields, and tall objects.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wait 30 minutes<\/strong> after the last thunderclap before resuming outdoor activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Have a shelter plan<\/strong> for outdoor events, sports, or travel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lightning Myths\u2014Busted<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Myth:<\/strong> Lightning never strikes the same place twice.<br><strong>Truth:<\/strong> It absolutely does.
