you are close enough to be struck by lightning.

If on or near Grand Traverse Bay or any inland lakes across northern 
Benzie and Grand Traverse counties, get away from the water and move 
indoors. Remember, lightning can strike out to 15 miles from the 
parent thunderstorm. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough 
to be struck by lightning. Move to safe shelter now! Do not be 
caught on the water in a thunderstorm.
