Abstract
In the past century, lightning killed more people in the United States on average annually than any other storm situation except floods. However, due to persistent lightning safety efforts by a multidisciplinary team, the annual National Lightning Safety Awareness Week campaign, shifts in population from rural to urban areas, and improved grounding of buildings, US lightning deaths have decreased to an average of less than 50 per year over the past decade. This demonstrates that aggressive public education can have a significant role in reducing lightning deaths and injuries.
