We really try to be focused on being accurate, and safety always comes first.” A storm cell doesn’t have to be directly overhead for the threat of lightning to exist, he stressed. “The cell can be 10 miles away and there is still a big chance of a strike.”
ummer had its official start Wednesday although heat and humidity began permeating the Keys weeks, if not months, ago. The temps will continue to rise and, being in a subtropical zone, the sun will shine stronger. The combination of heat, sun and humidity can be a killer. At NAS Key West, fitness staff on Boca Chica Field maintain a flag system at the entrance to the fitness center to alert Sailors and civilians to the conditions that could cause heat-related health illnesses. “The flags we put out are based on the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature readings, which is the heat index and how it feels outside,” according to Fitness Director Danna Gardner. “Each flag represents a heat index range and lets us know how much time we should spend outside exercising versus resting periods.” The system provides a safety standard for how long individuals can safely

t’s been a particularly active storm hurricane season so far, with three named tropical storms since the start of the season on June 1. Although the Keys haven’t been in the path of the storms, the associated wind, lighting and rain do affect training at Naval Air Station Key West’s Boca Chica Field when flightline crews are forced to run for shelter. The Meteorology
Department at NAS supports flight operations by providing weather updates and sounding the alarm if there is an approaching thunderstorm, which brings with it low flight ceilings, wind shear, heavy rain and lightning. “That’s probably the most important aspect of what we do here,” said Tom Cotter, supervisor of NAS Key West’s weather office. The office, in the Air Operations Building, has three meteorologists keeping track of weather conditions within a 10-mile
radius of the airfield. When the weather office issues a thunderstorm warning, airfield crews are expected to seek cover because of the potential of lightning strikes. This also means that all airfield operations stop. The weather office sends its alerts to more than 50 contacts, including Morale, Welfare and Recreation facilities, especially the Trumbo Pool and marinas. Cotter said the challenge with forecasting here is that weather formations can change rapidly because

ast week we finished a successful Vacation Bible School and marriage enrichment classes that encouraged both young people and adults to continue their relationships with God, family and marriage. As I reflect on the theme of Vacation Bible School, which was “Created by God, made for a Purpose,” I reflect on my own family and marriage. I am encouraged to know that I am made for a purpose of being more than just a chaplain. I am also a father and husband who seeks to love and hopes to share that love with my family and those with whom I come in contact. The British theologian C.S.
Lewis described our purpose in terms that make more sense today in our commuter driven society. He noted that a car is made to run on gasoline and it wouldn’t run properly on CHAPLAIN'S anything else. CORNER God designed the human machine to run on himself. He IS the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, and the NAS Key West Command Chaplain food our spirits were designed to Lt. Scott Mason feed on. There is no other and that is why it’s just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering to have a relationship with Him. God can’t give us a happiness and peace apart from him, because it’s not there.
We all desire spiritual fulfillment and happiness, as well as joy, peace and purpose in our lives. If you are one of those seeking these, I challenge you to look at God’s word for guidance and to not fall prey to what our world wants you to believe. The world promises a lot of these things but if you want true fulfillment and happiness look for your purpose created by God. Please come and join us on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at Truman Chapel on Truman Annex for worship service with our praise band and children’s church. Please visit our Facebook page (Truman Chapel) for upcoming events. If you are in need of chaplain care, please call your chaplains at 305-293-2318, Naval Air Station Key West, or 305-2928788, Coast Guard Sector Key West.
National Lightning Week focuses on safety From the National Weather Service
I
t’s summer in Florida, a time when the ocean will beckon beach-goers and fisherman. It’s also the most active period for lightning strikes. Florida averages 1.45 million lightning strikes a year and ranks number one for lightningstrike related deaths. From 2007 - 2016, 61 people died from lightning strikes in Florida; the second higheest fatality numbers were in Texas, which reported 21 deaths. Each year at the start of summer the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Weather Service promote National Lightning Week, which began Sunday, to educate the public on how to avoid being struck by lightning. Lightning is one of the most erratic and unpredictable char-
acteristics of a thunderstorm. Because of this, no one can guarantee an individual or group absolute protection from lightning. However, knowing and following proven lightning safety guidelines can greatly reduce the risk of injury or death. Most lightning victims are not struck during the worst of a thunderstorm but rather before or after the storm reaches its greatest intensity. This is because many people are unaware that lightning can strike as far as 25 miles away from its parent thunderstorm, much farther out from the area of rainfall within the storm. Therefore, if you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance. Seek safe shelter immediately. Remember this lightning safety rule: When thunder roars, go indoors - and stay there until 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder. Do not
wait for the rain to start before seeking shelter and don’t leave shelter just because the rain has ended. The best way to protect yourself and your family from the dangers of thunderstorms is to be prepared. If you have outdoor plans, be sure to familiarize yourself with the latest weather forecast before heading out. Consider taking a portable NOAA Weather Radio or AM/ FM radio with you. Once arriving, determine where you will seek shelter in the event of a thunderstorm and how long it would take to reach that shelter. A sturdy, enclosed structure with plumbing and electrical wiring is safest, but if one isn’t available most enclosed metal vehicles are safe alternatives. Keep an eye to the sky for see NLW page 6

work out of doors in hot humid conditions. Knowing and understanding the flag conditions are a way to avoid heat-related emergencies like heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat/ sun stroke. Each color represents an increasing level of heat-related conditions: White: Less than 80 WGBT Index - take caution if involved in intense physical exertion. Green: 80 - 84.9 - discretion is required in planning for heavy exercise for unseasoned personnel. Yellow: 85 - 87.9 - curtail exercise for those not acclimated to heat during their first three weeks of heat exposure. Red: 88 - 89.9 curtail strenuous exercise for all
personnel with less than 12 weeks training in hot weather. Black: 90 and above Physical training and strenuous exercise are suspended for all personnel (excluding operational commitments not for training purposes). “We suggest that members exercise indoors during black flag conditions,” said Gardner. For those who choose to exercise outdoors in the heat, the fitness staff will encourage them to hydrate and exercise with a buddy. “We cannot stop them from exercising outdoors,” added Gardner. “All we can do is warn them and educate them.” Command fitness leaders, trained by Gardner, are also educated on prevention and proper attire to be worn outdoors during extreme temperatures.
“It is also their job to educate their commands,” she added. The website www.ready. gov provides information on how to prevent heat-related illness including the following safety tips: • Drink plenty of water; even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine and limit alcohol. Those who have epilepsy or heart, kidney or liver disease, are on fluid-restricted diets; or have a problem with fluid retention should consult a doctor before increasing liquid intake. • Never leave children or pets alone in closed vehicles. • Check on family, friends, and neighbors who do not have air conditioning and who spend much of their time alone. • Check on your animals
frequently to ensure that they are not suffering from the heat. • Check the weather/listen to NOAA Weather Radio for critical updates from the National Weather Service (NWS). • Avoid strenuous work during the warmest part of the day. Postpone outdoor games and activities. • Dress in loose-fitting, lightweight and lightcolored clothes that cover as much skin as possible. Avoid dark colors because they absorb heat. • Protect face and head by wearing sunblock and a wide-brimmed hat. • Stay indoors as much as possible and limit exposure to the sun. This week’s “Ask the Doc” has more information on heat-related illnesses. See page 6.

How to recognize, respond to heat-related illnesses ASK The doc
From Naval Hospital JAX Public Affairs
T
he combination of high temperature, high humidity and intense sun can take a toll on anyone wanting to work or play outdoors. Common sense tells us to wear a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen, stay hydrated and take breaks indoors. The following information describes the warning signs of heat-related illnesses: Question: What is heat illness or heat-related illness? Answer: Heat-related illness is defined as a spectrum of disorders caused when someone is subjected to extreme temperatures and humidity and their body is unable to compensate and properly cool down. These disorders can
range from a heat rash and heat cramps to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. When we get hot, our bodies cool down through the evaporation of sweat. However under extreme heat conditions, sometimes our natural sweating - and its evaporation - just may not be enough to cool down and our body temperature can increase to dangerous levels if precautions aren’t taken. Question: What are so e of the warning signs? Answer: Warning signs can include red bumps on the skin, prickly or itchy skin, elevated pulse, headaches, significant sweating, involuntary spasms of the muscles, cramps and aches, paleness, nausea and vomiting, dizziness and fatigue. Other warning signs - usually associated with heat stroke - such as excessive
hot and dry skin, very high body temperatures, confusion, seizures and unconsciousness require immediate medical attention and can result in death. Question: Who is at risk? Answer: Heat-related illness can affect anyone. However, athletes and people who exercise and work outdoors in extreme heat are at higher risk of being affected. Also at high risk are infants and children up to four years of age, people aged 65 years or older, people who are overweight and those with a chronic medical condition or on certain medications. Question: How can I protect myself against heatrelated illness? Answer: The best defense is prevention. Increase fluid intake - drink more water than usual and don’t just
wait until you’re thirsty. Replace salt and minerals lost through heavy sweating and avoid alcohol or liquids containing high amounts of sugar.Schedule outdoor activities carefully and when participating in outdoor activities try to avoid direct sunlight. Wear appropriate clothing and use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. Simply put, during extreme heat conditions stay cool indoors whenever possible and monitor those who are at higher risk. Heat-related deaths and illness are preventable. Learn to recognize the signs of heat illness and what to do in case of an emergency. For more information see your primary care manager at Naval Branch Health Clinic Key West or contact Health Promotions at 305293-4844.

The safest location during a thunderstorm is inside a large enclosed structure with plumbing and electrical wiring. These include shopping centers, schools, office buildings and private residences. If lightning strikes the building, the plumbing and wiring will conduct the electricity and eventually direct it into the ground.

According to Cotter, this year hasn’t been a typical thunderstorm season. Many factors - heat, oceanwater temperature, shifting winds, high- and low-pressure systems - have challenged forecasters. “So far we have had a season that has been slightly above normal,” said Cotter. “We have had 11 (thunderstorm) warnings so far in June.” That compares to six in June 2016. During a storm watch, staff members will climb to the observation deck on top of the air terminal to check
developments every hour; during a warning observations are made every five minutes. “The best advice I can give anyone that is outside (during a storm) is that if you can hear thunder you are in danger of being struck,” he said. “Seek safe shelter and remain inside until 30 minutes after the last thunder is heard. “If you get caught on the water during a thunderstorm the best advice is to get in the boat’s cabin, if equipped with one. If you do not have a cabin drop anchor and lay on the lowest area of the boat.” Cotter said boaters should avoid contact with any metal and not use the
marine radio. “If there is no means of shelter then squat as low to the ground as possible. Never lay down on the ground because you create too many contact points for the lightning to pass through,” he added. Cotter also offered guidance for this hurricane season, which runs to Nov 1. “This year we have had three named storms, with two in June, which is the third time that has happened in our records,” he said. “It is not necessarily an indicator of a really active season, but it only takes one to reach landfall, so do not let your guard down and be prepared for anything.”
