Under what circumstances will lightning kill people in lightning weather?

Few people die in lightning weather, but the risk of being injured by lightning will increase if:

Rainstorm lightning occurs outdoors: outdoors, if there is lightning weather, especially in the open air, it is easy to become the target of lightning strike.

Contact with tall metal objects: In lightning weather, contact with tall metal objects, such as iron towers, poles and metal bridges, will increase the risk of being struck by lightning.

Lightning strikes the human body directly: If the human body becomes the shortest path of lightning current in lightning weather, it may lead to lightning striking the human body directly, causing serious injury or even death.

Therefore, in lightning weather, in order to protect their own safety, it is suggested to avoid outdoor activities, avoid contact with tall metal objects, stay away from high places and open areas, and try to hide in safe indoor or refuge facilities.
