Most of the strikes occur in the summer, killing 20 people each year, according to the NWS. Chance of lightning increases as a thunderstorm approaches and peaks when the storm is overhead. It diminishes as the storm moves away.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Here are suggestions for staying safe during a thunderstorm:<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To minimize risk of being struck by lightning, when going outside, have a plan to get to a safer place.<\/li>\n<li>If the sky grows ominous and you hear thunder, seek out a safe place to take shelter.<\/li>\n<li>Once indoors, avoid touching corded phones, electrical equipment, plumbing, and windows and doors.<\/li>\n<li>Wait 30 minutes after the last lightning or thunder before going back outside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>If finding indoor shelter is not an option:<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Steer clear of open fields, hilltops, or ridge tops.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a distance from tall, solitary trees or other elevated structures. When in a forest, stay in proximity to shorter tree groupings.<\/li>\n<li>When in a group, space out to prevent the current from transferring between individuals.<\/li>\n<li>If you are camping in an open setting, set up camp in a valley, ravine, or other low spot. Bear in mind, a tent does not protect you from lightning.<\/li>\n<li>Do not approach water, wet objects, or metal items. Although water and metal do not attract lightning, they conduct electricity effectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h3>What to do in the rain on the road? <\/h3>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Turn on your headlights &#8211; Even when it&#8217;s light outside, using headlights can improve visibility and alert other drivers to your presence.<\/li>\n<li>On the road &#8211; Drive in the middle lanes and stay on high ground. Rainwater tends to stockpile on the edges of roads.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid puddles &#8211; Driving into puddles or low rainwater areas can lead to vehicles hydroplaning or losing control.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t tail large vehicles closely &#8211; Trucks or buses can kick up a water spray that obstructs visibility.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid flooded zones &#8211; If you encounter a flooded road, make a U-turn and go back. The powerful currents of flash floods can carry drivers off the road. Driving through deep water can also damage a vehicle&#8217;s mechanical and electrical systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>What is hydroplaning?<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Hydroplaning happens when a vehicle starts sliding uncontrollably on wet roads.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>This happens when water in front of the tire builds up faster than the vehicle&#8217;s weight can push water out of the way. The water pressure then causes the vehicle to rise and slide on a thin layer of water between the tires and the road, making the driver lose control.

Drive at a reduced speed during wet weather.<\/li>\n<li>Water depth &#8211; The deeper the water, the sooner a vehicle loses traction on the road. It doesn&#8217;t matter how deep the water is, even a thin layer can lead to hydroplaning.<\/li>\n<li>Tire tread depth &#8211; Checking your tire tread before hitting the road is important, as low or no tread can lead to sliding.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>In the event of your vehicle hydroplaning, here&#8217;s what to know:<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ease off the accelerator &#8211; Step off the gas to slow down the vehicle until the tires find traction.<\/li>\n<li>Turn into the skid &#8211; Turning into the skid can help the vehicle&#8217;s tires realign to regain control.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the tires reconnect with the road &#8211; During the skid, wait until the tires reconnect with the road and then gently straighten the wheels to regain control.<\/li>\n<li>Brake gently as needed &#8211; Brake normally if the vehicle has anti-lock brakes and pump brakes gently if in an older vehicle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Source: <b>The National Weather Service<\/b><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p><i>United Robots South Carolina<\/i><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--]--><!-- --><!-- --><!-- --><!-- --><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NWS Columbia SC released a severe thunderstorm warning at 3:34 p.m. on Sunday in effect until 4:30 p.m. for Lancaster County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-weather-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Thunderstorms with damaging winds in Lancaster County Sunday - gusts as high as 60 mph - US Moving Experts<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/usmovingexpertss.com\/?p=2317\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Thunderstorms with damaging winds in Lancaster County Sunday - gusts as high as 60 mph - US Moving Experts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The NWS Columbia SC released a severe thunderstorm warning at 3:34 p.m. on Sunday in effect until 4:30 p.m. for Lancaster County.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/usmovingexpertss.com\/?p=2317\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"US Moving Experts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-06-28T20:38:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/usmovingexpertss.com\\\/?p=2317#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/usmovingexpertss.com\\\/?p=2317\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/usmovingexpertss.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/d4595f9a47af262eb0de41137cae39b6\"},\"headline\":\"Thunderstorms with damaging winds in Lancaster County Sunday &#8211;
