Lightning Protection in Indiana

The Hoosier state has its fair share of lightning and severe weather. Being one of the most tornado prone states in the Union, Indiana sees 504,053 cloud to ground lightning strikes annually and Indiana reports 5 annual deaths related to lightning.

With manufacturing being the one of the highest forms of income for the state, there are more and more lightning protection systems being installed for the protection of the workers and material. Agriculture is also an important industry for the state. If you must farm in a thunderstorm, you should use a tractor that has a fully enclosed cab with the windows closed. If you do not have one available, you should seek shelter immediately and wait 30 minutes from the last clap of thunder before returning./
