How to prevent lightning in thunderstorm weather? What small details should we pay attention to?

1. Thunderstorm weather, whether you are indoors or outdoors, remember not to answer and call your mobile phone, because the electromagnetic wave of your mobile phone can also cause lightning strikes, and there are countless tragedies of lightning strikes caused by mobile phones.

2. In thunderstorm weather, if you ride a horse or a bicycle and drive a motorcycle or a convertible tractor, you should immediately dismount or stop driving, stop the motorcycle, don't run or walk when it thunders, and look for a lightning protection place nearby. Because at this time, you may become a prominent object in the surrounding environment, attracting lightning strikes.

3. In thunderstorm weather, if you are in the open field, try to reduce the height as much as possible. Don't lift metal objects such as shovels, hoes and golf clubs above your head, because this will increase the chance of being directly struck by lightning. If there is nothing higher than yourself around, it will be dangerous to open an umbrella. The contact surface between human body and the ground should be reduced as much as possible to reduce the harm of step voltage. Find a valley or concave ground, and squat down on the flat ground with your feet together when necessary, which not only reduces the height, but also prevents the step voltage.

4, thunderstorm weather, if you are in a city or a place with many buildings, it is best to hide in a building with metal doors and windows or lightning rods.

5, thunderstorm weather, if you are near the car, you can also hide in the car with a metal body. Once these buildings or cars are struck by lightning, their metal frames or lightning protection devices or the metal itself will lead lightning current into the ground. People generally don't get struck by lightning when riding a car, but don't stick your head and hands out of the window when it thunders.

6, thunderstorm weather, if in the jungle, it is best to find a clearing in the forest, choose a place that is almost far away from the surrounding trees, and kneel with your feet together. It is extremely unsafe to hide under a big tree to avoid thunderstorm, because this tall object is easily struck by lightning, which will produce lateral flashover, contact voltage and step voltage, and even cause death in severe cases. In addition, isolated huts, thatched cottages, pavilions, etc. Poor conductivity, easy to catch fire or collapse when struck by lightning. Stay away from these places in case of lightning. Don't shelter from the rain under the big tree. It is best to stay 5 meters away from the tree when it thunders.

7, thunderstorm weather, if you travel in mountainous areas, such as Luyudong can also enter the lightning protection. Standing in a cave with your feet together, no part of your body can touch the wall or ceiling of the cave. Because the cave is a part of the earth's surface, once it thunders, contact voltage and step voltage may kill people.

8. In thunderstorm weather, if you go fishing, boating or swimming in lakes, rivers and sea areas, you should enter the ship cabin with metal shell in time. Do not approach or touch any part of lightning protection equipment to avoid contact voltage and step voltage.

9. When it thunders during a thunderstorm, if you are at home, the first thing to do is to close the doors and windows to prevent lightning from hitting the room directly or to prevent dangerous side lightning and spherical lightning from invading the room. Most accidents are caused by fires caused by lightning. There are also many people who are struck by lightning because they are close to or in contact with indoor metal pipes, such as water pipes, toilets, and indoor electrical circuits leading to household appliances. When lightning strikes a room without lightning protection device, lightning current will generally enter the room along telephone lines, lighting wires or outdoor TV antennas, and enter the ground along water pipes or wires. When people touch the above objects, their bodies become part of the lightning current path. When some metal pipes in the room are not well grounded, lightning current sometimes discharges from these conductors to the human body through the air gap. If the indoor ground and electrical lines are wet, lightning current will leak in the wet place. Most cases of indoor lightning strike are also caused by lightning discharging to human body through air gap. Therefore, it is best to stay away from indoor bathroom pipes, sinks, telephones, household appliances and any metal objects connected with the outside world during lightning. Don't use computers, color TVs, stereos, DVD players and other weak current devices near the external walls of your home. It is best not to use these devices when lightning occurs. In thunderstorm weather, try not to use telephone lines to surf the Internet. You should unplug the power supply, telephone lines, closed TV lines and other metal wires that may introduce lightning. Do not touch antennas, water pipes, barbed wire, metal doors and windows, external walls of buildings, and stay away from live equipment such as wires or other similar metal devices.

10, usually pay more attention to the weather forecast. If there is a thunderstorm forecast, don't go to the top of the mountain, the ridge or stay on the roof. If you have to go out in thunderstorm weather, you'd better wear rubber shoes, which can play an insulating role. It is not advisable to stay near iron fences, metal clotheslines, overhead metal bodies and railway tracks. In lightning-prone areas, or residential buildings, office buildings, workshops, factories, laboratories and other places, lightning protection devices can be installed indoors, which can short-circuit the lightning current entering the room to the ground along the wires. Don't pull the wires used to dry clothes and bedding to doors and windows, in case the wires lead to lightning.
