We restore storm damage 24 hours a day in Aitkin County.

Do you know that lightning can strike inside a home or building? Aitkin residents experience everything from light rain to intense thunderstorms and lightning during the summer season. Our local Aitkin, Carlton, and West St. Louis Counties teams are trained and certified to restore storm damage quickly and efficiently. Here are some lightning safety tips from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA):

 Lightning: What You Need to Know

• No place outside is safe when thunderstorms are in the area!
• If you hear thunder, lightning is close enough to strike you
• When you hear thunder, immediately move to a safe shelter: a substantial building with electricity or plumbing or an enclosed, metal-topped vehicle with windows up

Indoor Lightning Safety

• Stay off of corded phones, computers, and other electrical equipment that put you in direct contact with electricity
• Avoid plumbing, including sinks, baths, and faucets
• Stay away from windows and doors and stay off porches
• Do not lie on concrete floors, and do not lean against concrete walls
