I had planned on going on a hike today since it’s one of the few days that classes don’t eat up all my time, but the forecast is showing possible thunderstorms so it looks like I’ll be spending the day indoors. As you can see from the picture above, mountains sometimes act like lightning rods as they are the highest points from the ground. Getting caught up there in a storm could be deadly, so it’s important to check the weather before embarking on a trip.
