Be sure that all shack equipment is insulated and grounded.
Unplug all gear, and disconnect all antennas during
thunderstorms, whether in or near your area.
The U.S. Storm Prediction Center has "Convective Outlooks" where
at least 10% coverage of thunderstorms is expected. However,
thunderstorms can form outside of this coverage area...especially
during the heat of day in the summer. Check with the forecast
from your area National Weather Service or Meteorological Agency
for the forecast of thunderstorms in your area.
