The Weather Bureau on the Subject of Lightning
The Weather Bureau reports five years of study on lightning effects in the United States. It cites about 225 annual fatalities and $1.5 million in property losses, with June and July being most severe. Cities face five times less risk than rural areas, and common safety advice is limited by widespread unawareness and lack of lightning rods or tall structures. Trees alone offer no protection, and avoiding lone trees, openings, and barns reduces risk during storms.
