Andrew Larsen, Executive
Director of the Lightning Pro-
tection Institute, a not-for-
profit organization that pro-
motes public awareness of the
dangers of lightning the light-
ning safety issues, concedes
many of the lightning related r
deaths and injuries are need-
less and preventable. Keep-
ing aware of the changing
weather conditions and know-
ing how to react to a storm
can save lives. It is no coin-
cidence many deaths and in-
juries occur at the beginning
and end of storms when stray
lightning bolts emerge from a
virtually cloudless sky. Light-
ning is released from the edges
of storm clouds and is often
unexpected. According to Bob
Ebaugh, a Weather Specialist
for the National Weather Ser-
vice, it is during the height
of the storm, when the rain
is overhead that most people
seek shelter. At other times
people are ofte'n lulled into a
false sense of security.
The best way to avoid in-
jury is to be alert to on-
coming storms. Watch out for
billowy, white-topped cumu-
lonimbus clouds with dark-
ened areas. They appear threat
ening and should be taken seri-
ously. Although impossible to
prevent lightning from strik-
ing, you can-avoid dangerous
situations. The Lightning Pro-
tection Institute suggests fol-
lowing some basic guidelines:
Upon the sighting of a
thunderstorm:
Immediately seek shelter in
a protected structure - one
that is guarded by a light-
ning protection system which
safely harnesses the energy
of a strike, guiding and dis-
sipating the electrical current.
Many public buildings are de-
signed with certified, state of
the art lightning protection
systems and many homeown-
ers choose to protect property
with these systems.
If you find yourself in an
unprotected building or home,
it is important to avoid contact
with electrical equipment and
appliances and avoid standing
near doors and windows - try
to remain in a center room
until the storm passes. Do not
attempt to unplug appliances
or televisions and computers
during the storm and stay off
the phone. Lightning can ravel
through phone lines and cause
dectrical shock! Also, avoid
contact with bath tubs, sinks
and faucets or other piping
throughout the home.
If you’re caught outside,
avoid areas that are higher
than the surrounding land-
scape. For anyone found near
or in a body of water during
a storm, the rule is to get as
far from the water as possi-
ble. Lightning seeks the path
of least resistance and water
and metals are preferred tar-
gets. Vacate pool areas and
avoid unprotected poolhouses
or beach stands. Do not use
a tree as shelter and avoid all
metal and tall objects such as

There's a thief hiding
in your yard.
Its called inefficiency. And every year, it robs homeown-
ers of thousands of dollars in energy costs. Whether its a
heating and cooling system, refrigerator or water heater,
the fact of the matter is, if your equipment is inefficient,
it's costing you money. And it's no wonder. After all. newer
models have a much higher efficiency rating.
So. in a continuing effort to respond to your needs,
here's a little helpful tip from the folks at W Electric When
the time comes to replace your equipment, make sure it's
the most efficient thing going. Because you never know
what's out there until you look. P^WELECTRIC
