When radar signatures suggest severe hail is imminent or occurring, a warning will be issued and it is time to take shelter! #WeatherReady #ekywx #jklwx (2/2)

Thunderstorms produce deadly lightning capable of striking up to 10 miles away from the storm. So, even if you don't see rain, you could be in harm’s way. Remember these two simple messages. 1) When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors! 2) See a Flash, Dash inside! #WeatherReady #KYwx
Lightning strikes the U.S. 25 million times a year, which sometimes results in death or permanent injury. You are safest indoors or inside a hard-topped enclosed vehicle. Stay #WeatherReady and learn more about lightning safety: weather.gov/safety/lightni…
Each year in the United States, thunderstorms produce 20-25 million lightning flashes that strike the ground. Your odds of getting hit increase significantly when you stay outside during a storm, so When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors! See a Flash, Dash Inside! #WeatherReady #KYwx
Freezing Rain is the Worst. Freezing rain is more dangerous than snow, as ice can form on pavement. Watch out for falling branches and powerlines. Use extreme caution if there is, or recently was, freezing rain.
⚠️ @montgomerycountymd.bsky.social ⚠️
Compared to a typical snowstorm, freezing rain is much more hazardous — especially on the road.
Bottom line: be #WeatherReady and use extreme caution if there is, or recently was, freezing rain. @mococouncilmd.bsky.social @marylanddot.bsky.social #mdcommuters
Even the most common items become dangerous objects when picked up and carried by the wind! When a Severe Thunderstorm WATCH is issued, go ahead and secure outdoor items such as patio furniture, sports equipment and trash cans ahead of time. #KYwx #WeatherReady
When severe thunderstorms produce high wind gusts, tree damage is expected. Branches and other outdoor objects can become airborne & dangerous. During damaging wind events, you are safest in the interior room of a building, away from windows. Stay #WeatherReady, #Kentucky! #ekywx #kywx #KYSWAW
When it comes to severe weather preparedness, it is very important to have multiple ways to receive warnings. Receiving warnings for dangerous weather events can save your life. Stay #WeatherReady in KY by knowing your options: youtu.be/ZqmguEWojYw #ekywx (1/2)
Play in the pool, not in floodwaters! Floodwaters can contain harmful chemicals and objects that could harm you or make you sick. #WeatherReady www.noaa.gov/education/re... #ekywx #kywx
Why Do Bridges Freeze First? No ground underneath means the entire structure can be surrounded by cold air. Freezing isn't uniform, shaded parts can be icy while sunny parts aren't. Slow down before the bridge, as changing speed on ice is dangerous.
You’ve probably seen road signs advising that bridges freeze🧊 before roads, but do you know why? Having open air💨 underneath the bridge🌉 means the cold air surrounds the bridge both above and below. 🔗 weather.gov/safety/winter #WeatherReady #mdroads #mdtraffic #mdcommuters

Pictured: Car driving in fog. Text: In dense fog, you only have seconds to react! Yellow car driving cautiously through thick fog with a warning to slow down for safety.
When 🌫️#fog 🌫️reduces your visibility while driving, slow down and do not change lanes or pass other vehicles unless absolutely necessary. Be sure that you can stop within the distance that you can see. 🔗weather.gov/safety/fog #WeatherReady #mdcommuters Ready Montgomery PIO Pete Piringer #mdtraffic
Small Decisions can have a big impact: Dense Fog. 1) Slow down when visibility is reduced. 2) Don't use cruise control. 3) Delay travel until conditions improve. Don't let a bad decision be your last.
Dense fog can quickly and unexpectedly reduce visibility to a quarter mile or less. If you find yourself driving through dense fog, small decisions can make a big impact or save you from one 🔗 weather.gov/safety/fog #WeatherReady @montgomerycountymd.bsky.social #mdcommuters @marylanddot.bsky.social
