When thunder roars, Pokemon GO indoors

Unless you've been under a rock this week, you've heard of Pokemon GO, the app which surpassed the population of Twitter in its first day. It's making kids go outside, which is great, but I'm concerned they might be oblivious to the dangers of lightning, so I created this new poster:

VIDEO: Weather can influence your Pokemon game.

This, of course, is a play on the National Weather Service "When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!" poster shown below. You'll note I have substituted Pikachu's lightning-shaped tail for the strike!
