Shanghai Oriental Pearl was struck by lightning. What should I pay attention to when going out in lightning weather?

The recent lightning strike on the Oriental Pearl in Shanghai has given people a warning. In lightning weather, we must pay attention to safety and take certain protective measures. So, how to protect against lightning? 1. Don't answer the phone. When making or answering a phone call, the mobile phone will spread electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves will guide the direction of lightning in the process of propagation, which is very fragile. So when it thunders outside, try not to call or answer the phone, and try to reduce the chance of being thundered. If you have to call or answer the phone because of something, find a safe place, such as some public places in the building. This can ensure your own safety.

2. Lower our height. If we go out in thunderous weather, we find that our hair stands on end. At this time, you should be careful. It is necessary to squat down in time, reduce the height, and put your feet together to reduce the damage caused by stepping voltage. If it thunders in rainy days, it is necessary to lower the height of the umbrella, which can also reduce the probability of lightning strike. The design of lightning rod is based on this principle. A needle with a pointed tip is used to draw lightning from the top of the building and then spread it to the earth. We should avoid lightning and lower the height of our umbrella according to this principle.

3. Stay away from the big tree Many people have a misunderstanding when it rains, that is, the edge of the big tree can shelter from the rain. When it rains, trees can really avoid some rain erosion, but they may be damaged by lightning. So in thunderstorm weather, stay away from trees and try to keep a safe distance of more than five meters. This plays a very important role in our life. At the same time, rubber shoes can also be worn in thunderstorm weather. Rubber shoes can play the role of insulation, which can reduce the chance of contact with lightning and reduce the damage caused by lightning.

Travel should be reduced in lightning weather and some protective measures should be taken.
