A village in Hebei was hit by a tornado, killing two people. How to protect yourself when encountering a tornado?

When you encounter a tornado in the wild, you should judge where the tornado is moving and then run away in the opposite direction. If the tornado is close to you, find a low-lying place to hide in time, face down, close your eyes and mouth, cover your mouth and nose with gauze if possible, and squat on the ground with your hands on your head, waiting for the tornado to pass. Don't hide under telephone poles, trees and billboards. If the house collapses, it is necessary to block the power supply in time.

If you encounter a tornado indoors, don't stand outside the window or door. You can hide in a hidden place and wrap yourself in a quilt. When you encounter a tornado while driving, you should evacuate to low-lying and tunnel areas as soon as possible. Don't stop waiting for the tornado to come. The tornado is powerful enough to blow the whole car into the sky.

A village in Hebei was attacked by a tornado, the specific situation.

It's been a disaster recently. In the past two days, Henan has been hit by heavy rain, which has caused more than 400 thousand people to be affected. Now there is another typhoon of magnitude 8 in Donglu Village, Hebei Province. The scene was dazzling and horrible, many objects around it were blown up, and the houses in the center of the typhoon collapsed directly. After the typhoon, two people were killed, and local circuit pipelines and gas pipelines were also damaged to varying degrees. The typhoon lasted for more than 30 minutes, which brought great losses to the surrounding residents. At present, firefighters have rushed to the scene to carry out emergency rescue work.

Why are extreme weather frequent recently?

In fact, extreme weather has a lot to do with people not caring for the environment. Careful people will find that in recent years, the temperature in various provinces has continued to rise, and even cities in the United States have high temperatures of more than 40 degrees all the year round. A large amount of carbon dioxide emitted by human beings promotes the greenhouse effect. The rapid melting of polar glaciers and rising sea levels make it easier to form rainfall. This rainstorm in Henan has a lot to do with two typhoons, which continuously transported water vapor from thousands of miles away to Henan, causing a flood in Henan. Natural disasters can't be stopped now, but they can only be prevented as much as possible. I hope that after every disaster, I will know more about the importance of protecting the environment.
