A resident's home in shangzhi city was struck by lightning, and the room was full of sparks. How to prevent lightning strikes in normal families?

On the night of May 7th, it began to rain in shangzhi city. A farmer's house in Xingfu Village, shangzhi city was struck by lightning, and the wall glass of the house was damaged to varying degrees. The family was in the house at that time, with different degrees of burns on their faces and bodies. Nearly 70 villagers' home appliances in shangzhi city were damaged, and some residents' home glass was broken. The villagers who suffered the most were covered in glass stubble, and sparks were everywhere in their homes.

How to prevent lightning strike in normal home?

In thunderstorm weather, be sure to close the doors and windows at home. Closing doors and windows can block the airflow and prevent similar ball mines from entering the home with the airflow. And at home in thunderstorm weather, don't touch metal doors and windows, and don't carry too many metal ornaments with you. If the building is struck by lightning, all the metal components of the building will become lightning passages, and if people are next to the metal door frame at this time, they will also be struck by lightning.

Is it dangerous to take a bath at home in thunderstorm weather?

Yes, so I suggest you not to take a bath in thunderstorm weather, because if the building where we are located thunders, there will be a strong lightning current, which will be conducted through metal objects and water in the building. If you happen to take a bath at that time, it will be excreted. Especially for families with solar water heaters installed at home, the risk of being struck by lightning will be greater. Because almost all solar water heaters are installed on the roof, and the height of solar water heaters will basically exceed the height of the roof lightning protection zone. When the weather thunders, the solar water heater will act as a lightning receptor, and when it receives lightning, it will conduct along the water surface. So don't take a bath in thunderstorm weather.

How to take lightning protection measures at home?

First of all, I think the grounding at home should be done well, and then lightning rods or lightning strips should be installed on the roof. If you are building in rural areas, it is recommended to install lightning protection belts, because lightning protection belts are economical and inexpensive. Then short lightning rods can be installed at the corners of the four eaves, and then grounded through the down lead. The grounding resistance can be less than 10 ohm.
