There is a big thunderstorm now, and there is a lightning rod at the weather bureau nearby. Will I be hit by lightning when playing games on 4G?

No. Because lightning strikes are selective, the lightning rods provided by the Meteorological Bureau will guide the lightning away and will not cause lightning strikes to nearby low buildings. For example, if you stand side by side with a big tree, lightning can only hit the big tree but not you directly. But if you are standing on the top of a mountain during a thunderstorm, the lightning will definitely hit you and a huge electric current will pass directly through your body. Therefore, meteorological science says that you should not stand under a big tree during a thunderstorm, do not stand in an open place to hide from the rain, and it is not advisable to walk on the road during a thunderstorm with an umbrella.
