What should I do when I travel and encounter thunder weather?

Lightning usually hits the spire of the tallest outdoor object, and isolated and prominent targets are often the most vulnerable to lightning attacks. If we are outdoors during a thunderstorm, we should abide by the following rules to ensure safety:

1. People on the open ground or water will become bumps on their plane and be struck by lightning. Don't play outdoor ball games at this time, such as golf and football. Do not swim or do other water sports. Don't stay at the top of the mountain or on the platform of high-rise buildings in thunderstorm weather, and don't enter isolated shacks and sentry boxes. In the clearing.

2. Stay away from the exposed water pipes, gas pipes and other metal objects and power equipment in the building.

3. It is not advisable to avoid thunderstorms under isolated trees. The wet branches of a big tree are like a lightning device. If you hold the tree with your hands, it is as dangerous as touching the lightning rod with your hands. When it thunders, it is best to keep a distance of 5 meters from the trunk, squat down and put your legs together.

4. When you stand in an open place, if you feel your hair suddenly stand on end, your skin feels slight tingling, or even hear a slight crackling sound, making a squeaking sound, which is a sign that lightning is about to hit you. In this case, you should squat down immediately. Before leaning forward, put your hands on your knees and bend them into a ball. Never lie flat on the ground. Don't support the ground with your hands. You should hold your knees with your hands at the same time, keep your chest close to your knees and keep your head as low as possible, because your head is more vulnerable to lightning than other parts of your body.

Hearing thunder a few seconds after seeing lightning means that you are in a dangerous environment near a thunderstorm. At this time, you should stop walking, put your feet together and squat down immediately. Don't get involved with people. It is best to use plastic rain gear and raincoat instead of metal rain gear.

6. If it is too late to leave tall objects, you should immediately find some dry insulation (non-metallic objects) and sit on them with your feet together. Don't put your feet on the ground outside insulation, because water can conduct electricity.

7. When going out in heavy rain, it is best to wear rubber shoes, which can play the role of heat preservation.

8. Don't stay in the thunderstorm with metal objects. Don't hold your metal body above your head (for example, playing an umbrella in the wild, or holding a badminton racket, golf club, hoe, etc.). ) throw away the metal ornaments you wear, such as keys, hairpins, necklaces, etc. , and put them 5 meters away.

9. It is not advisable to stay at the water's edge or in a depression. Water has good conductivity and is vulnerable to lightning. Go to a dry house nearby to take shelter from the rain. If you can't find a house in the mountainous area, you can take shelter from the rain under rocks or caves.

10. It is not advisable to drive a motorcycle, ride a bicycle or run fast in the rain, because the greater the stride of the body, the greater the voltage, and the easier it is for lightning to hurt people.

1 1. If you see that the high-voltage line is broken by lightning, you should be vigilant because there is a step voltage near the breakpoint of the high-voltage line. People nearby must not run at this time, but should jump off the scene with their feet together.

12. Don't call or answer the phone when it thunders. It's best to turn off the power of the mobile phone. Because of the interference of lightning, the wireless frequency hopping of mobile phones is enhanced, which is easy to induce lightning strikes, machine burning and other accidents. However, lightning protection devices are installed in public residential areas, and people are relatively safe in this environment. Thunder and lightning will only interfere with the mobile phone signal, damage the chip at most, and will not cause fatal harm to the human body. Once in the open area, people and mobile phones will become obvious bumps on the ground, and mobile phones are likely to become the discharge objects of Lei Yun's choice.
