some nice storms coming into the picture for the weekend…
…and a reminder for anyone who is working outdoors…
lightning can strike at any time, long before or after a storm. this poses a major hazard. if you have knowledge of a storm approaching, it’s a safe bet to head indoors. i’m only saying this because word is that somebody was struck in Frankfort a short while ago…
