It's summer, everyone's outdoors, and a storm is on the way. Does your family know what to do when lightning appears? Take advantage of the National Weather Service's (NWS) lightning safety toolkits through a link at http://huntsvilletx.gov/Lightning.

There are resources for basic lightning safety, swimming pool lightning safety, and specialized links for kids, teens, and educators. The NWS also provides periodic Skywarn weather spotter programs, so keep an eye out or check with the Huntsville Fire Department at 936-291-5495 or JWaldo@HuntsvilleTX.gov. Know what to do when the sky lights up!
