🌩️ Storm season is here—and as an Okie from Oklahoma, I’ve weathered my fair share of wild thunderstorms! ⛈️
If you’re ever caught outside during a storm, use the flash-to-bang method to estimate how close lightning is:
👉 Count the seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder.
👉 Divide that number by 5.
💥 That’s how many miles away the lightning struck.
Example: 10 seconds = 2 miles away ⚡
If it’s within 6 miles, it’s time to take cover—because “when thunder roars, go indoors!” 🙌
Stay safe out there, y’all.
