It's #LightningSafety Awareness Week! ⚡️

#DidYouKnow @NOAA's GOES satellites have an instrument onboard called the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (#GLM), which helps forecasters track potentially dangerous #lightning in thunderstorms? 🌩️

Why is being indoors important?

Almost every single U.S. lightning fatality since 2006 has occurred outside.

If you can get inside a substantial building (one with four walls, a roof, and electrical and plumbing in the walls) or a fully-enclosed metal vehicle - you're safe! https://t.co/Gt6grhST3x - Lightning Safety Council
