From The Weather Center:

WeatherBrains 101: Summer is definitely the season for thunderstorms and with thunderstorms you get the danger of lightning. Did you know that so far in 2016 80 percent of the 21 fatalities have been men? That’s right! And what makes matters even worse is that just about all lightning fatalities are preventable. When thunder roars, go indoors.
