Lightning Reminder

In this episode I’ll talk about when, where and how lightning strikes and give you some facts about lightning that you just might not know.  I’ll also talk about some real life encounters with natures fury and shed some details on what to do if you’re caught in the outdoors with a storm approaching, what to do and what not to do and maybe even take a lighting quiz to test your knowledge. I’ll also discuss briefly what to do in the unfortunate occurrence that someone in you hiking party is the victim of a lightning strike.
