There is a large area of hail in Nanchang. What should we pay attention to in hail weather?

Nanchang Meteorological Bureau has issued an orange warning of hail in advance, indicating that there will be a wide range of hail weather in Nanchang New District, Honggutan District, Qingshan Lake District, Anyi County and other places, accompanied by snow showers, lightning and thunderstorms. Sure enough, in the early morning of March 3 1, there was a sudden hailstorm in Nanchang. Someone specially picked up the hail and measured it. The maximum diameter is 8 cm. If you hit a person, it is really equivalent to a martial arts expert making ten successful moves and slamming a palm, and the consequences are unimaginable. So what should we pay attention to in this extreme hail weather? Let's have a look.

Avoid being hit by hail. Hail is actually ice bumps of different sizes. They fall from the sky under the gravity of the earth, and there will be an acceleration in the process of falling, which leads to a fast speed and strong impact when landing. Although not as strong as falling meteorites, large particles can do great harm to people. No problem if the particles are small. If the hail as big as the tail finger falls on people, it will be enough for people to drink a pot. If you hit a person on the head, it will cause serious injury or even death. Therefore, once the hail begins to fall, we should immediately find a hiding place, preferably in a house and other places that can resist the hail attack.

Protect your life and property. Anyone who encounters hail outdoors should immediately find shelter such as a house, and don't think it's all right, because no one knows how big the next hail will be. If it rains a few centimeters in diameter, it will really threaten life. People who were originally in the house should not go out, and urgent things should wait until the hail has passed. If you must go out, wear a helmet and other equipment to protect yourself before going out. In addition, pay attention to listening to the weather forecast, and cover your car with protective equipment such as quilts before the hail comes to prevent your car from being smashed. Domestic animals, chickens and ducks should rush back to the shack, and inform the children and the elderly in advance that there is hail today, so don't run around.

Lightning protection and rainstorm Many times, with the arrival of hail, there will be lightning and rainstorm, so in addition to hail prevention, lightning protection and rainstorm should also be taken. At this time, it is best not to go out with an umbrella, nor to shelter from the rain under a big tree, and it is not suitable for activities on roofs, balconies, windows, overhead lines, iron fences and so on. Also avoid rivers, paddy fields and other places with water. In lightning weather, in order to avoid lightning current, it is best not to use solar water heaters, not to touch water pipes and gas pipes, including fixed telephones and mobile phones, especially not to use mobile phones at the window or outdoors to avoid lightning strikes.
