According to the National Weather
Service, heat is considered one of the deadliest weather events
we experience. People 50 years of age and over accounted for
over 67 per cent of heat related deaths. Heat concerns also
focus on the very young, athletes, outdoor workers and those
with medical conditions that can deteriorate quickly in high
heat and humidity.
Every year the energy released
in lightning affects everything from people and animals to
events and activities. Lightning causes deaths, injuries and
significant property damage. It is estimated that one out of
every 57 insurance claims is lightning related. Many of us think
we know how to avoid the electricity, heat and other
effects of lightning; but do we?
Hurricanes don't just happen at the
coast. Communities ranging from large cities to small towns can
be affected by a variety of influences relating to tropical
weather. Heavy rains, tornadoes, flooding, mud and rock slides
can occur hundreds of miles from where a storm makes landfall.
Proper planning in both coastal and inland area is
essential.
