An updated severe thunderstorm warning was issued by the National Weather Service on Friday at 7:10 p.m. in effect until 7:30 p.m. for Jefferson County.
Published: Sep. 10, 2024, 5:04 p.m."At 7:10 p.m., a severe thunderstorm was located over New Cumberland, or 7 miles south of Wellsville, moving east at 25 mph," states the weather service. "Expect damage to roofs, siding, and trees."
Lightning can follow conductive pathways, and these precautions reduce the risk of electrical surges.After the last lightning strike or thunderclap, wait at least 30 minutes before resuming outdoor activities. Camping in an open setting during a thunderstorm is strongly discouraged. If no alternative exists, set up camp in a valley, ravine, or other low-lying areas. Remember that a tent offers no protection against lightning.
Enhance your visibility in heavy rain by activating your headlights. Be particularly vigilant for vehicles in blind spots, as rain-smeared windows can obscure them.The first half-hour of rain is when roads are slickest due to a mix of rain, grime, and oil. Exercise heightened caution during this period.Don't follow large trucks or buses too closely. The spray created by their large tires reduces your vision. Take care when passing them as well; if you must pass, do so quickly and safely.
