When severe thunderstorm weather occurs, it sometimes brings disasters, such as lightning endangering personal safety, direct damage to household appliances and computer rooms by lightning or induced lightning, and even fire.

Matters needing attention

1, in thunderstorm weather, it is best not to go out. If you want to go out, you should pay attention to lightning protection.

2. Close the doors and windows at home in time to prevent the invasion of side lightning and ball lightning. Because most ball mines will enter the room along the doors, windows and chimneys of buildings, they will escape after moving indoors for a few seconds, which will cause an explosion. Lightning protection experts believe that the movement of ball mines is related to the direction of air movement, so close doors and windows to block the way of air movement, thus effectively preventing ball mines from entering the room.

3. When there is lightning, thunder and rain, the TV, tape recorder, stereo, air conditioner and other electrical appliances in the room should be turned off immediately to avoid danger caused by conduction. In addition, when it thunders, don't lean against posts, walls, doors and windows, and don't stand directly under the electric light, so as to avoid accidents caused by induced electricity when it thunders.

4. When it thunders and rains, it is forbidden to stay at the top of the mountain or in hilly areas. Don't hide under big trees or near telephone poles, and don't walk or stand in open fields. You should hide in a low-lying place as soon as possible, or try to find a dry cave to escape.

5. Don't use an umbrella with a metal handle in thunderstorm weather. Take off metal glasses, watches and belts in time. If you want to leave your bike as soon as possible, stay away from other metal objects to avoid being struck by lightning.

6. Don't swim or engage in other water sports. Not suitable for outdoor ball games, mountaineering, horseback riding and other sports, leaving open spaces such as water.

7. When you hear thunder within a few seconds after seeing lightning outdoors, it 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.

8. If you see a high-voltage line that is broken by lightning outdoors, you should be vigilant at this time, 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.
