How to prevent lightning strike in thunderstorm days?

Outdoor lightning protection:

1, it is best to wear a raincoat that is not soaked in water, such as plastic, outdoors or outdoors. If conditions permit, you can enter buildings, cars or ships with wide metal frames or lightning protection facilities; If you rely on a street covered by buildings or a street covered by tall trees, you should pay attention to leaving the wall or trunk 8 meters away.

2, should try to leave the hills, hills, uplift path, away from the sea, lake, river, pond, avoid barbed wire, metal clothesline and flagpoles, chimneys, pagodas, lonely trees, also should try to leave small buildings or other facilities without lightning protection.

The cause of lightning:

In charged cumulonimbus clouds, when positive and negative charges accumulate in different parts of the same cloud or in different clouds, the atmospheric electric field is generated due to the different charges or polarities accumulated in different parts of the same thunderstorm or between different clouds.

When the intensity of the atmospheric electric field reaches a level that can break through the air, a strong discharge phenomenon will occur and lightning will appear. The lightning at this time is called cloud lightning or cloud lightning.

When charged clouds are close to the ground or buildings, different charges will be generated on the ground or buildings due to electrostatic induction. With the increase of charge or the shortening of the distance between clouds and buildings, when the electric field intensity between charged clouds and the ground or buildings can exceed the air insulation intensity, instantaneous discharge begins and lightning (cloud-to-ground lightning) will also occur.
