An Excerpt from
THE HANDBOOK FOR LIGHTNING STRIKE
SURVIVORS
With yearly cloud-to-ground lightning strikes, injuries, and fatalities on the rise, I have written to the National Weather Service asking them to do more to educate people about the risks of lightning.
I received a prompt and concerned letter back, indicating that they have plans to increase lightning education, thus preventing injuries and fatalities.
On a personal note, I am pleased to know that there are individuals and organizations like me who comprehend lightning’s impact. Together, I know we can prevent injuries and death.
