A three-panel, gray and yellow infographic from the National Weather Service - Indianapolis highlights Lightning Safety week. The first panel says "Lightening," and shows a person being surrounded by light. The second panel says "Lightning," and shows a person with a bolt of lightning behind them. The third panel says "Lighting," and shows a glowing light bulb above a person.

A red, white, and blue cartoon drawing of a bald eagle appears on a bright red background. The words "Freedom Bird has an announcement" appear at the top of the image. Near the bald eagle's beak is a white speech bubble with the word "screech" on it. "Screech" is written in all caps and is blue.

The background image is of a yellow emoji face laughing so hard that tears are coming out of its eyes. The emoji is overlayed with text that says, "It's so hot the weather app just says, 'LOL.'" The Department of Business and Neighborhood Services' logo is in the bottom-right corner, and additional text encourages people to visit weather.gov/safety/heat for more heat-related info and tips.

Bugs are gross, and sometimes Accela has one. We'll let the technology administrator know he needs to come kill a spider for us.
