Can I watch TV when it thunders?

Lightning is very unstable and is likely to hit anything on the ground. Some families rely on outdoor antennas to receive TV stations. Don't watch TV at this time. Outdoor antennas are likely to be hit, and some are cable TV. But if somewhere on the line is hit, the strong current will also affect the TV, so it is best not to watch TV when it thunders for safety.

When watching TV during thunder, if it happens to be struck by lightning, the TV will be directly damaged. Even if the TV power cord is not turned on, it may still have an impact. In addition to being struck, lightning is often accompanied by some radiation phenomena. When watching TV, I feel that the signal is not very stable, and the picture and sound will be disturbed.

Lightning has the opportunity to generate instantaneous high voltage on the wire. At this time, high voltage may break through electrical components, which may cause explosion in severe cases and burn out the safety tube in minor cases. Therefore, if it is a heavily thundered area, sometimes even the lights have to be turned off, because it may suddenly explode and hurt people nearby. Of course, if Lei Yun is very high, it won't matter. Generally, the thunder that sounds scary is low clouds, so be sure to turn it off!
