Thunderstorms

Did you know that weather satellites can detect the temperature and the height of a cloud? According to the National Severe Storms Laboratory, (NSSL), weather satellites take pictures of the earth at regular intervals to look for weather patterns, and rapidly growing clouds are a possible sign of a thunderstorm. Clouds with a cold temperature at the top usually mean that the clouds are high enough up in the earth’s atmosphere to become a thunderstorm. SERVPRO^® of Barrington/North Schaumburg wants Barrington residents to know that we are Here to Help® when you experience damage to your home or business from a thunderstorm or any storm.

Here are some thunderstorm safety tips offered by the American Red Cross:

• Listen to local news or NOAA Weather Radio for emergency updates
• If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be in danger from lightning. If thunder roars, go indoors!
• The National Weather Service recommends staying inside for at least 30 minutes after the last thunderclap
• Watch for signs of a storm, like darkening skies, lightning flashes or increasing wind
• Shutter windows and close outside doors securely. Keep away from windows
