  Here is today's Ham Shack Safety Tip:

  Be sure that all shack equipment is insulated and grounded. Unplug
  all gear, and disconnect all antennas during thunderstorms, whether
  in or near your area.

  The U.S. Storm Prediction Center has "Convective Outlooks" where
  at least 10% coverage of thunderstorms is expected. However,
  thunderstorms can form outside of this coverage area...especially
  during the heat of day in the summer. Check with the forecast
  from your area National Weather Service or Meteorological Agency
  for the forecast of thunderstorms in your area.

  Also, have access to weather radar...so if you see something
  developing, it's time to "shut things down".
