The extreme heat over the past couple of weeks are not only taking its toll on our yards and flowers dry conditions and warmer temperatures are the perfect mixture to create a severe thunderstorm. Summertime thunderstorms can come out of know where and sometimes with very little warning but there are a few things you can do to prepare yourself and your family when one hits.

• Activate weather alerts on your smartphones

• Stay inside your home and if your traveling in your vehicle find a safe place to park to ride out the storm
