We have
or should have heard the term "Severe Weather" many times in our lives. So, what must occur in weather for
a system to be classified as severe? Here is the NWS definition for severe weather:
- A tornado.
- Damaging winds, or winds measured
50 knots (approx. 58 MPH) or more.
- Hail 1 inch in diameter or larger.
Other forms of dangerous
weather include heavy rain (flash flooding hazard), excessive heat and cold, tropical cyclones, and winter storms.

This
time of the year is for outdoor activities and it is also the time of the year when lightning deaths are
the greatest. If you are anywhere outdoors and you hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck. Good
rule of thumb, "when thunder roars get indoors,"
Remember
"Be Family Safe. Know Before You Go(tm)."
