⚠️ 'When thunder roars, go indoors' - Environment Canada's warning issued at 2:20 p.m. Thursday, June 20. Stay safe! ⛈️
Alert! Environment Canada recently issued a severe thunderstorm warning, urging citizens to take immediate precautions. As the ominous clouds gather and the wind picks up, remember the golden rule: 'When thunder roars, go indoors.' This simple yet life-saving advice can protect you from the dangers of lightning strikes. The warning, announced at approximately 2:20 p.m. on Thursday, June 20, serves as a reminder to stay vigilant and prioritize safety during severe weather events.
Severe thunderstorms bring with them a myriad of hazards, including intense winds, heavy rainfall, and lightning strikes. It is crucial to seek shelter in a sturdy building or a vehicle with a metal roof to stay safe. Additionally, avoid using electronic devices and stay away from windows to minimize the risk of injury. By heeding the warning and staying indoors until the storm passes, you can safeguard yourself and your loved ones from potential harm.
In Canada, thunderstorms are a common occurrence during the summer months, often accompanied by spectacular displays of lightning. Did you know that lightning can strike the same place twice? Contrary to popular belief, tall buildings and structures are not immune to multiple lightning strikes. Lightning rods are crucial in redirecting electrical currents to the ground, protecting buildings and preventing fires. So, next time you witness a thunderstorm, remember to stay safe and let the experts handle the lightning dance in the sky.
