The ABCs of Lightning

Public Domain

It's exciting to watch lightning strike, but its effects can be devastating. 

Just witness the flock of wildfires that started in our region late last July. 

Before we get to the heart of lightning season, we're getting warnings about how WE should behave around lightning. 

Because we sure can't do anything about ITS behavior. 

This is Lightning Awareness Week, and we visit with some National Weather Service meteorologists about what lightning is capable of.
