Introduction:

When thunder roars, go indoors… You’ve all probably heard the saying, and I’m sure many of you have had your own close calls with this fearsome flash. This week is Lightning Safety Awareness Week, and today, we’re talking to the person who created this annual event! John Jensenius has spent his career keeping people safe as a meteorologist in the National Weather Service, and one of his legacies has been his work to educate and protect people from the dangers of lightning. Each year, lightning kills 49 people on average, so we’ll talk about the ways you can stay safe and even debunk some myths about lightning that may be putting you at risk. Now let’s begin what is sure to be an electric discussion!
