IMPACTS

• Localized downpours are probable in places.

• Strong winds may blow off roofs and damage property.

ACTIONS TO TAKE

• When thunder roars, go indoors. Stay indoors for at least 30 minutes after the thunderstorms have ended. These are precautionary measures to reduce the chances of being struck by lightning.

• Note that lightning can strike from a large distance; thus if you can hear thunder within 30 seconds of seeing lightning, then you are close enough to get struck. Go into a vehicle or a house.

• Avoid contact with water or metal objects including farming equipment when lightning is visible, even from a distance.

• Insure crops against adverse weather such as hailstorms.

• Be Weather-ready; always plan with the weather in mind.
