ISSUES PDS LIGHTNING ALERT #203; ALL OF BURKE, CALDWELL, CATAWBA, AND MCDOWELL UNTIL 10:00PM PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION LIGHTNING ALERT At 7:33pm doppler radar indicates a strong line of thunderstorms developing in the Upstate of SC and expanding North into the Mountains and Foothills. Frequent lightning, up to 15 miles outside the storms, can cause damage to homes, appliances, and people. Move indoors. A lightning alert means that dangerous cloud to ground lightning strikes are possible in and around the alerted area. It does not mean that the strongest part of the storm will hit your area. This alert should be used for heightened awareness of lightning strikes that could cause injury or permanent body damage if outdoors. People in and around the alerted area should seek shelter indoors, away from windows, off ridge tops, and away from isolated high objects. Unplug unnecessary electronics and appliances to avoid them being damaged from a power surge.
