Then, Minh shares a close call with lightning while hiking in Colorado and the lessons he learned from that experience. Then we tackle several common misconceptions associated with lightning in a lightning round of myths. Lastly, we take a look at the new lightning safety campaign for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities entitled "See a Flash, Dash Inside."
