About

This Weblog is written by Ed Shaver, David Acker, and Franklin Veaux. We work for Spectrum Electronics. Our goal is to promote awareness of storm safety for anyone who works or plays outdoors. Here you'll find everything from basic lightning safety to current events related to severe weather phenomena.

And to talk about lightning and high-voltage electricity and lightning-related phenomena, because that kind of stuff is cool. And dangerous.

If you're interested in storm chasing, camping, hiking, water sports, fishing, golfing, or any other outdoor activity, or if your job keeps you outdoors, or if you're interested in high-energy physics or high-voltage gadgets, or you like art or history, there will probably be something here for you.
