Mississippi Severe Weather Preparedness Week reached its fifth day, with a focus on lightning safety, according to the National Weather Service in Memphis, Tennessee.
Officials advise residents to follow the rule, “When thunder roars, go indoors.” They recommend avoiding outdoor activities when a thunderstorm is in the distance.
The weather service emphasizes that staying indoors is the safest option during thunderstorms to prevent injuries caused by lightning. Residents are encouraged to stay alert and prioritize safety during severe weather events.
The campaign continues through the week to raise awareness and promote safety practices across Mississippi during severe weather season.
