	Public Information Statement
Statement as of 12:46 PM MDT on July 10, 2009 The following is a list of some thunderstorm safety rules that can be passed along to residents of... and visitors to... southern Colorado. If you plan to be outdoors... check the latest weather information. If thunderstorms are in the forecast... you may want to curtail outdoor activities. If you are outdoors and hear thunder... the best thing to do is get indoors into a substantial building... or get into any hard topped vehicle. Lightning can strike several miles away from the storm... where it is not raining and where you may be. In Colorado... lightning can occur with thunderstorms that produce little if any rain. Do not wait to long to take action. Deadly lightning can occur with all thunderstorms. Wait 30 minutes until the last rumble of thunder before resuming outdoor activities. If you are caught outdoors during a lightning storm... and there is no safe shelter nearby... there is not much you can do to reduce your risk of being struck by lightning. The best thing to do is find a low spot and stay away from trees. If you are in the mountains and are above timberline... go to a lower area. If you are below timberline... try to find an open area away from trees. If you are in an area of dense trees... do your best to stay away from the tallest trees. If you are in a group... stay apart. If someone is struck... others will be able to help the victim. If you are driving... visibilities will be greatly reduced during heavy downpours of rain and small hail. Turn your lights on and slow down to avoid hydroplaning on ponded water on roadways. You may also want to wait out the storm by exiting or pulling all the way off the roadway. Turn your flashers on so you can be easily seen.
