roadways.



If on or near marine areas, get out of the water and move indoors or

inside a vehicle. Remember, lightning can strike out to 10 miles from

the parent thunderstorm. If you can hear thunder, you are close

enough to be struck by lightning. Move to safe shelter now! Do not be

caught on the water in a thunderstorm.
