"Mother Nature" is not to be trifled with. Weather and climate
can be killers as well as the bringers of the seasons and
the nurturers of all life on Earth.
Leave
the playground or ball field when thunderstorms are imminent.
Never be at or near the highest object when there's lightning.
Don't
even think about taking a video camera to the beach to wait
for a hurricane's landfall: leave that to NOAA's expert researchers
or professional weathercasters who know where to go, and when
to leave.
On
a hike when there's heavy rain? Be on the lookout for places
where flash floods might become deadly.
No
matter what you happen to see on TV, do NOT wait out
a tornado under a highway underpass. There's a good chance you'll
be sucked out and killed, rather than left in safety.

should be aware of at work or play, at home or at school, while
traveling and even online), at these authoritative web sites
