 Along with the change in seasons comes a possibility of yet other types of severe weather. With various updates to our cellphones, it’s worthwhile to check that your cellphone is set to receive emergency reports. At times, severe weather can move into your location with little warning. With your cellphone set to receive emergency alerts, you’ll likely keep a step ahead of adverse weather as well as other alerts, where ever you happen to be.
 It might seem like it is just a cute saying
“WHEN THUNDER ROARS, GO INDOORS“
but following this advice might save your life!
This year there have been three people killed from lightning strikes, one in PA, as of the date this was posted.
