About

The video is about staying safe from lightning, especially for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. It describes how lightning can strike even when a storm seems far away. If you see lightning or hear thunder, go inside quickly to a closed building or car. Avoid open areas like picnic shelters. Once indoors, stay away from windows and electrical devices. Remain inside for at least 30 minutes after the last sign of lightning or thunder to ensure safety.
