It doesn't have to be raining where you are for lightning to be a threat. Lightning can strike 10-15 MILES from a thunderstorm! 🌩️ Remember: See a Flash, Dash Inside! weather.gov/safety/lightning…

TN doesn’t get hurricanes directly, but we do feel their severe weather effects. Water is a deadly threat during hurricane season and life-threatening flooding is possible far inland. 🌧️ Prepare your home: ready.gov/floods 🌧️ Remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown.

Please don't panic buy gas. This can create shortages at stations. Only buy what you need and NEVER use unapproved containers for fuel.
