Fire Damage in Roseville.

Did you know that the last week of June marks Lightning Safety Awareness Week? This event is organized annually by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA), and other partners and covers many topics related to lightning. Summer sees the highest instances of lightning strikes each year, and between 2009 and 2018 Michigan averaged 220,635 cloud-to-ground lightning flashes. SERVPRO® of St. Clair Shores wants to assure the Roseville community that we have years of experience mitigating fire damage and are here for you in the event of a fire damage emergency. Here are some interesting lightning facts from the NOAA:

• There are three main ways lightning enters homes and buildings:
• A direct strike, through wires or pipes that extend outside the structure and into the ground
• Once in a structure, the lightning can travel through the electrical, phone, plumbing, and radio or television reception systems
• Lightning can also travel through any metal wires or bars in concrete walls or flooring
• Lightning detection systems in the United States monitor an average of 25 million strokes of lightning from clouds to the ground during some 100,000 thunderstorms every year
