Have a good flashlight on hand.
In a thunderstorm, no place outside is safe. A substantially constructed building offers the best protection.
Stay away from telephones, electrical appliances and plumbing.

Winter weather
A winter storm in some areas can last for several days and disrupt utilities and other services.
