In India, four male trees were cut down by lightning to avoid rain. Which areas can't be avoided in rainy days?

Don't take shelter from the rain under trees in open areas or buildings without lightning protection measures in thunderstorm weather.

At about 12, in March, at about 17: 30, four men who were sheltering from the rain were struck by lightning in a park in New Delhi, India. At that time, the trees they sheltered from the rain flashed, and four people fell to the ground immediately. The whole shock process is only two seconds.

Thunderstorm weather often has great security risks, and lightning strike is a dangerous accident that often occurs in thunderstorm weather. So how to avoid danger in thunderstorm weather?

Avoiding umbrellas in the wild is a common measure to avoid rain, but it is safer to wear raincoats than umbrellas in the open field. If you hear thunder immediately after seeing lightning in the field, it means that you are in a thunderstorm environment. You should stop walking, squat down with your feet together and wait for the thunder to disappear.

Don't shelter from the rain under the tree. Many people instinctively hide under the tree when they encounter thunderstorms outdoors, but there may be danger of electric shock when they shelter from the rain under the tree.

Thunderstorm weather, if you don't go into the sea or swim by the river, it is easier to attract lightning in the water because of its high conductivity. Moreover, in the seaside and riverside, it is easy to form interfaces with large resistivity changes, so the chances of getting an electric shock in these places will be much greater.

Lightning can cause harm to people because it is a discharge phenomenon. Although the lightning we usually see is only a short moment, it has produced several or dozens of discharges. When we see lightning, if we hear thunder in a short time, it means that lightning is very close to us, and vice versa.

Lightning weather, in addition to not sheltering from rain in dangerous places, but also pay attention to several points.

Don't answer the phone with your mobile phone in thunderstorm weather. When lightning is frequent, it is best not to use electrical appliances. It is best to turn off the power supply and electrical appliances at home, because these are also conductors and it is easy to introduce external charges.
