What emergency measures should I learn to prevent being struck by lightning?

In thunderstorm weather, for the sake of safety, it is best not to go out unless there is an emergency. If you have to go out, if you are driving, you should temporarily drive to a safe area, stop and turn off the engine. You'd better wear a raincoat instead of an umbrella when hiking. Don't take shelter from the rain under big trees and tall buildings.

First, stay calm and don't panic when you encounter lightning weather outdoors. Observe the surrounding environment. Don't lie on your knees, because your head is more vulnerable to lightning than other parts of your body. Women should take off the metal hairpins and other things they wear on their heads, and don't bring metal things. Don't use your cell phone or take an umbrella. Be sure to avoid getting close to independent tall objects and becoming commanding heights. If you see the high-voltage line being struck by lightning, you should be vigilant. Because there is a step voltage near the breakpoint of the high-voltage line, people nearby should not run, but jump off the scene with their feet together. The thunderstorm weather is strong and the gas station is flammable. If lightning strikes somewhere in the gas station, there will be an explosion. If you are at or near a gas station at this time, there is a great possibility that static electricity will cause lightning strikes. Therefore, in order to save your life, don't go to the gas station in rainy days. On rainy days, there is a great possibility of lightning strike. But if you park your car under a tree, you will not only be struck by lightning, but also be implicated in lightning hitting a tree. How many reports about vehicles being damaged by lightning trees? Therefore, in thunderstorm weather, try not to drive to the top of the mountain, under the tree or on the top floor of the building, and try to find an underground parking lot or an ordinary parking lot. Even in ordinary parking lots, attention should be paid to avoiding power distribution equipment such as transformers, electric boxes and telephone poles as far as possible to avoid being affected.

The second is to encounter a thunderstorm indoors. Close the doors and windows to prevent the intrusion of spherical lightning, and try to stay away from balconies, doors and windows and external walls. Don't use any household appliances, unplug all power supplies. Do not touch any metal pipes, including water pipes, heating pipes, gas pipes, etc. And especially remind everyone not to take a bath in thunderstorm weather, especially not to take a bath with solar water heaters. If you are driving on the road in thunderstorm weather, please be sure not to touch the roof, the metal parts connecting the headrest and the seat or other metal objects in the car, because these are uninsulated and very dangerous.

Pay attention to lightning protection in summer! If you don't have a correct sense of self-protection, it may endanger your life.
