When we were kids group in eastern PA we would sit outside on porch and watch the thunderstorms. When you could feel the hairs on your arm from the static electric we were told to be indoors. I wonder how many others were told the same as kids
Perfect Mike ! Thank you so much....I've forwarded this to my email list, especially including my friends and relatives who live in Ohio and Wyoming....Blessings, my friend ! 🙏
Mike, thanks for raising awareness about lightening and all the work you did to put this article together! The automated graphs are really nice! However, they are a bit confusing need more explanation. It seems like the reason risk exposure is at a minimum when lightning risk is highest must be because the graph assumes people are inside. If that is true, it should say that somewhere. I also don’t understand why risk exposure stays high before after the storm is overhead. It’s
Would seem that risk exposure would peak as the storm approaches and as it leaves and it should go to near zero when there is no weather in the area. If true, I suggest you have multiple curves, one showing unmitigated risk (staying outdoors or waiting too long to come in) and the other showing the risk to one behaves accordingly. If not true, then I am confused and need more explanation. Thanks again Mike.
Those graphs were from the National Weather Service. But I agree they’re a bit confusing. I’ll see if a can get access to the raw data to better explain what’s causing the danger modes.
