Thunderstorms in summer and autumn are generally changeable. It is often clear in Wan Li in the morning and lightning and thunder in the afternoon. Don't panic when you go out in a thunderstorm. It is necessary to know the following precautions to ensure your personal safety.
First, don't hide under the tree to avoid the rain. On a thunderstorm day, there is moisture in the leaves of towering trees. When the trees grow to a certain height, they are easy to conduct lightning, and the human body is also conductive, so standing under the trees will be easily affected. Unless absolutely necessary, you should keep a distance of more than 3 meters from the trunk, squat down to reduce the height and reduce the danger. Second, stay away from some high-risk areas, such as power stations, rivers and beaches, and kerosene. These places are relatively high-risk, not only have the danger of electrical conduction, but also the leakage of gas, oil or other substances caused by the erosion of rain in thunderstorm weather, which is harmful to human body. Third, don't run or ride a bike in the rain. When people are running fast, the greater the stride, the greater the voltage, and accidents are prone to occur. Fourth, don't open an umbrella or fly a kite in the rain, and don't hold some iron and conductive objects. Fifth, once we feel a little paralyzed, it means that we will be struck by lightning. We should immediately get down on the ground and take off all our ornaments to reduce the harm. Sixth, don't get wet, don't wash clothes, and don't swim outdoors. Water is conductive.
The power of nature should not be underestimated. In the past, two-thirds of people who were struck by lightning died of electric shock outdoors, and most of them were women. It is necessary to take effective measures in an emergency.
