Seven villagers in Sichuan were killed by lightning. What kind of warning role did this matter play?

In fact, the most worrying thing in summer is thunderstorm weather. Although the probability of being struck by lightning is still very small, we should not take any chances. Just like seven villagers in Sichuan went up the mountain to dig Cordyceps, which they were very familiar with, but they were collectively struck by lightning and died unfortunately. This thing is to make everyone alert to this thunderstorm weather and reduce the chance of going out.

Unfortunately, four women and three men were killed by lightning, and the youngest child was always carried by his mother. At a certain time every year, the villagers will go to the mountains to dig Cordyceps, which is a good income for them, but who knows that such an accident happened and the two families were destroyed in an instant.

In Derongma Township where the accident happened, besides low temperature, strong wind and heavy snow, the most important natural disaster was lightning. This place is relatively high above sea level, and many villagers will choose to dig Cordyceps. In fact, such extreme weather is relatively common in the local area, so the villagers did not raise their vigilance. After all, few people are killed by lightning like this.

In every region, when this thunderstorm weather occurs, the meteorological observatory will issue a notice to remind the public that it is dangerous to dig cordyceps in the mountains. When there is a lightning warning, you should go down the mountain immediately, so as to stay away from danger and give everyone a warning. When there is a thunderstorm, don't hide under trees, towers or telephone poles.

The place where the accident happened was originally a place with higher altitude. Villagers generally choose to dig cordyceps in the mountains, spend the night in the mountains, and then choose to go down the mountain after purchasing a certain amount. The weather was bad then, and it really began to rain. Everyone hurried to find a place to hide. Who knows that there was a loud noise, and the thunder and lightning directly split into places where several people took shelter from the rain, and seven lives disappeared.

Usually, the probability of being struck by lightning is higher at some higher altitudes, because these plateau areas are more in line with the formation of Lei Yun, so summer is the season with frequent lightning. At the same time, everyone must pay attention to the recurrence of this thunderstorm weather, and it is best not to get too close when sheltering from the rain, otherwise once one of them is struck by lightning, it is likely to cause lightning damage to everyone nearby.
