National Lightning Safety Awareness Week is ongoing in the U.S., highlighting the dangers of lightning strikes. Each year, millions of lightning flashes occur, causing fatalities and injuries. Lightning can strike up to 10 miles from rainfall, resulting in about 50 deaths annually. Lightning strikes the U.S. 25 million times a year, leading to death or permanent injury. It's emphasized to seek safe shelter indoors or in a hard-topped enclosed vehicle during thunderstorms. Boaters are advised to head to port or safe shelter immediately when storms form. Lightning is hotter than the surface of the Sun. There is no safe place outside during thunderstorms.
