Lightning Protection in West Virginia

With one of the cloudiest climates in the United States, West Virginia gets, in some areas, over 210 cloudy days a year! West Virginia also averages about 206,421 cloud to ground lightning strikes annually and usually has at least one lightning related death annually.

With hiking being very popular in the state, it is important to know the weather report before you leave. If you cannot avoid a storm, do not use a rocky outcrop for shelter. You should seek lower elevations immediately. See more lightning protection safety tips.
