Those storms can sneak up on folks.  But safest to shut down and disconnect
your rigs when storms are within 10 miles.  Some lightning has struck from a
cloud that far away, albeit an extreme case.

My old 40 M dipole had an NE 2 in shack across the feeder, and it would
start flashing from storms induction when storm cloud was 5 miles away as
measured by the time to hear the thunder after the flash.
