Excuse me, why does continuous thunder scare me to death?

Lightning is a plasma conduction state formed by the extranuclear electrons of space gas excited by electric field, accompanied by optical radiation and thermal effect. Due to the action of light and thermal radiation, the temperature of the surrounding air rises sharply, leading to thermal expansion, which in turn pushes the air to form a shock wave, that is, the sound of thunderstorm we hear. The greater the concentration of water molecules in the air, the more impurities there are, the greater the possibility of breakdown ionization by high-voltage electric field, and the higher the probability and intensity of lightning strike.

The intensity of lightning electric field has two factors. First, the light radiation intensity of lightning and the decibel coefficient of thunderstorm are also related to the electric field intensity. The closer the charged cloud is to the ground, the greater the electric field intensity. Secondly, the greater the charge of the charged cloud, the higher the electric field intensity, and the electric field intensity is also related to the speed of charge accumulation. The duration of electric field discharge is also related to the speed of cloud charge accumulation, which is what we usually call the range of lightning duration and brightness.

Matters needing attention

(1) When it thunders and rains, it is forbidden to stay at the top of the mountain or in hilly areas. More importantly, it is forbidden to continue to push up the rain scene. Don't hide under trees or telephone poles, and don't walk or stand in open fields. You should hide in a low-lying place as soon as possible, or try to find a house or a dry cave to hide.

② In thunderstorm weather, do not use umbrellas with metal handles, and take off glasses, watches and belts with metal frames. If you travel by bike, you should leave the bike as soon as possible and stay away from other metal objects to avoid being struck by lightning.

③ Don't go swimming, boating or fishing in rivers and lakes in thunderstorm weather.

(4) In lightning and stormy weather, if tourists rest in the hotel, they should immediately turn off the indoor TV, tape recorder, stereo, air conditioner and other electrical appliances to avoid using electricity. It's safer in the middle of the room when it thunders. Don't stay under the electric light, and don't lean against posts, walls, doors and windows, so as to avoid accidents caused by induced electricity when it thunders.
