Lightning Safety in and Near Water

Lightning’s danger doesn’t stop when the storm rolls past— it can strike up to 20 miles away, making water activities especially risky. If you hear thunder or see lightning, get out of the water immediately. Use the flash-to-bang method: count seconds between lightning and thunder—every 5 seconds equals 1 mile. If it’s under 30 seconds, seek shelter. And follow the 30-30 rule: get inside when lightning and thunder arrive within 30 seconds, then wait 30 minutes after the last thunderclap before returning.
