NWS meteorologist warns of lightning strikes

“When thunder roars, go indoors.” It’s a phrase you hear all the time.
It’s something meteorologists are repeating a lot this week, during Lightning Safety Preparedness Week.
Joseph Nield, a National Weather Service meteorologist, knows that many people like to go outside during a thunderstorm and take photos and videos, but calls it a dangerous risk.
He says 45-60 people die every year from being struck by lightning.
