42 cows in Hainan were killed by lightning. How dangerous is it to go out in thunderstorm weather?

I believe everyone has seen the news. 42 cows in Hainan were killed by lightning. How dangerous is it to go out in thunderstorm weather? I felt helpless when I saw the news. This is not intentional, it is a natural disaster. Presumably everyone will think that lightning is far away from us, but it is not. There are many tragedies of being struck by lightning every summer. Especially now, in summer, extreme weather is frequent, especially the high temperature during the day and the short-term convective weather at night. In this extreme weather, everyone should take preventive measures to ensure the safety in the lightning environment. Moreover, this is inevitable, and it cannot be said that there is no lightning, which is unrealistic. So we can only take some preventive measures to avoid some tragedies.

1. What should we do when there is lightning?

We should not shelter from the rain on the roof or under the tree, let alone continue to play on buildings such as the roof, or enter isolated huts and trees to shelter from the rain. Don't stay on the surface of the water or near the water, don't move quickly, and it's best not to run in a thunderstorm, let alone drive a motorcycle or ride a bike, which are prone to lightning strikes. Keep away from metal materials. We should try not to take umbrellas with iron handles. It's best to put away the metal toys such as iron in your hand. Don't play mobile phone. Thunderstorm warns children not to play with mobile phones and try not to answer the phone.

Second, some special considerations.

Many people like to take shelter under the big tree in thunderstorm weather, but this behavior is not desirable, because it is very unsafe to take shelter under the big tree, and lightning may hit the big tree at any time. You must stay away from that big tree when it thunders. Second, try not to go out when it thunders. It is very dangerous to go out when it thunders. If there is no need to go out, wait until after the thunderstorm, because it is much safer to stay indoors. Finally, don't stand under the telephone pole, which is also a very dangerous place. When the weather is good, you should not be too close to the telephone pole, for fear of electric leakage, and you should not stand under the telephone pole when it thunders. As long as everyone pays attention to the above problems, the probability of accidents will also be reduced.
