Thunderstorm strong convective weather occurs frequently. How can we travel safely and prevent lightning damage?

Lightning can be said to be a very lethal natural substance in nature. If you want to travel safely and prevent lightning damage, you need to pay attention to three aspects. First of all, try not to go to higher areas when traveling, because things in higher areas are more likely to cause lightning and be easily struck by lightning. Second, try not to call outdoors when traveling, because although the current brought by the phone is invisible to people, it will indirectly attract lightning, and callers are more likely to be struck by lightning than those who don't call. Third, try not to shelter from the rain under the tree, and try to use an umbrella made of all rubber. Because the tree is too tall and loose, it can guide the current and reduce the direction of the current well, without the need of ordinary iron umbrella.

This phenomenon is a common distance factor, because when lightning splits downward, it will first find the substance related to its shape, and then find the closest substance. Compared with the flat land, the contact distance between the top of the mountain and lightning will be closer, and the person standing on high is equivalent to a human lightning rod. Lightning rods are not used to avoid lightning, but to guide lightning to themselves from high places and spread to safe ground. If a person acts as a humanoid lightning rod at a height, then lightning will find the person at the height first, so you must not go to the height.

Don't make phone calls outdoors. When making a phone call, the mobile phone will generate a weak current invisible to the human eye, which will be more obvious outdoors in rainy days. Lightning is relatively sensitive to substances with the same nature as itself, so when making a phone call, this current will attract lightning, which will make the caller more vulnerable to lightning.

Don't take shelter from the rain under the tree, use a rubber umbrella. Pupils generally know the reason why they can't take shelter from the rain under trees, because trees are tall and easy to conduct electricity, and rubber budget, as an insulating substance, exists to compete with lightning.

Therefore, we must pay attention to these three aspects if we want to travel safely in thunderstorm weather and prevent lightning damage.
