Updated: Jun. 22, 2024, 2:45 p.m."At 2:35 p.m., a severe thunderstorm was located over Elmhurst, or near Scranton, moving east at 25 mph," according to the weather service. "Expect damage to roofs, siding, and trees."
Lightning can follow conductive pathways, and these precautions reduce the risk of electrical surges.After the last lightning strike or thunderclap, wait at least 30 minutes before resuming outdoor activities. Camping in an open setting during a thunderstorm is strongly discouraged. If you have no alternative, set up camp in a valley, ravine, or other low-lying areas. It's crucial to note that a tent provides no protection against lightning.
If the roadside is your only option, pull off as far as possible, preferably past the end of a guard rail, and wait until the storm passes. Keep your headlights on and turn on emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.
