Safety measures in thunderstorm weather

Matters needing attention

(1) Close the doors and windows before it rains, so as to avoid the lightning disaster caused by conduction effect due to high indoor humidity.

(2) Cut off the electrical equipment that can be used temporarily, and don't get close to metal parts such as stoves, and don't stand barefoot on the soil or concrete floor.
