How to protect yourself during a thunderstorm and how to dodge during a thunderstorm

In case of thunderstorms, try to avoid places prone to lightning strikes such as mining, water surface, wetlands and windward slopes, as well as roofs and roofs, and suspend high-altitude operations; People who go out should seek shelter in a relatively dry, leeward place nearby, and do not rush in the rain.

People who go out during thunderstorms should bring raincoats instead of umbrellas with metal poles; When a thunderstorm comes, stay away from the high-voltage line, and the body should be with.

Disengage metal objects and keep a distance of more than 3 meters.

In case of thunderstorms, do not take shelter under trees, electric poles, or tower cranes.

Before the thunderstorm comes, you can cut off the power supply in advance, and turn off the power of your mobile phone in the field. During the thunderstorm, do not touch the power switch and electrical equipment, do not play **, surf the Internet.

Precautions for thunderstorms.

1. It is not advisable to enter temporary sheds, sentry boxes and other low-rise buildings without lightning protection facilities;

2 Do not hide under a tree, keep a safe distance from the tree twice the height of the tree, and squat and bend forward.

3. Do not hold up metal objects such as umbrellas;

4. It is not advisable to continue the installation of equipment with metal and communication and electrification lines;

5. It is not advisable to work on the surface of the water or at the junction of land and water, at high altitude and in open fields, and to quickly leave the water, boats, paddy fields, etc.; chl^'l

6. Do not engage in outdoor activities and do not run outdoors in the wilderness;

7. Do not stay on the floor, roof, hilltop or ridge of the building, squat down with your feet together in low-lying areas, or sit down, but be careful not to touch the ground with your arms;

8. Do not use outdoor communication tools such as mobile**.

Don't hide under trees

Don't hide in an open place

1. Do not take shelter from the rain on the roof or under a tree.

Do not continue to play on the roof of buildings during thunderstorms, nor do you go into isolated sheds, sentry boxes, or large trees to take shelter from the rain, if there is really no way, you must keep a distance of 3 meters from the trunk of the tree, squat down and keep your legs together.

2. Don't stay on the surface of the water or near the water.

Swimming in rivers, lakes, seashores, washing clothes, fishing, playing, etc. are all dangerous, water can conduct electricity, once struck by lightning, there is no chance to hide.

3. Don't move fast.

Don't run during a thunderstorm, let alone drive a motorcycle or ride a bicycle, as moving quickly in a thunderstorm is easy to be struck by lightning. If you see the high-voltage line broken by lightning outdoors, because there is a stepping voltage near the high-voltage line breakpoint, people who are nearby should not run, and should jump away with their feet together.

4. Keep away from metal substances.

When walking in the rain, you can't hold an iron-handled umbrella, it's best to put away metal toys such as a holding iron, and when sheltering from the rain, you should observe whether there are exposed water pipes, gas pipes and other metal objects or electrical equipment around, and don't stay near iron fences, metal clotheslines, overhead metal bodies and railway tracks, iron is also conductive, so try to avoid it.

Even in the house, try to stay away from metal things, especially showers, try not to use showers during thunderstorms, and close doors and windows to prevent touching the metal frames of windows.

5. You can't play with your phone.

You can't play with your phone during a thunderstorm. Call or answer ** should also be avoided as much as possible, do not use the landline at home, lightning rods can only protect the building, and can not do anything about the lightning waves invading along the overhead wires and ** lines, and pay attention to the power supply at home to be turned off.

6. Wear shoes during thunderstorms.

Walking barefoot or sheltering from the rain during a thunderstorm increases the likelihood of being struck by lightning. When a thunderstorm comes, you should put on your shoes immediately or put plastic or other insulators on the soles of your feet to prevent accidents.

1.Do not stay on the platform of high-rise buildings during thunderstorms, and do not enter isolated sheds, sentry boxes, etc. in outdoor open spaces. >2.Keep away from exposed metal objects such as water pipes and gas pipes and electrical equipment outside buildings.

3.It is not advisable to take shelter from thunderstorms under large trees, and if you have to do so, you must keep a distance of 3 meters from the trunk of the tree, squat down and keep your legs together.

4.If there is a feeling of ants crawling away on the head, neck and hands during the thunder and lightning, and the hair stands up, it means that a lightning strike will occur, and you should quickly lie on the ground, which can reduce the danger of being struck by lightning, and take away the metal jewelry and hair worn on the body.

Cards, necklaces, etc.

5.If you encounter a thunderstorm outdoors and have no time to leave a tall object, you should immediately find some dry insulation and put it on the ground, and sit on it with your feet together, and never put your feet on the ground other than the insulator, because water conducts electricity.

6.When sheltering from a thunderstorm outdoors, be careful not to use your hands on the ground, hold your knees with your hands, keep your chest close to your knees, and keep your head as low as possible, as your head is more susceptible to lightning strikes than other parts of your body.

7.When you hear thunder within a few seconds of seeing lightning outdoors, it means that you are in a dangerous environment near a thunderstorm, at this time you should stop walking, put your feet together and squat immediately, do not pull together with people, it is best to use plastic rain gear and raincoats.

Wait. >8.In thunderstorms, it is not advisable to use umbrellas in the wilderness, or hold badminton rackets, golf clubs, hoes, etc. high; It is not suitable for outdoor ball games, and it is very dangerous to play golf, football and other sports in thunderstorms; Not to be there.

stay on the surface and at the water's edge; It is not advisable to wash clothes, fish, swim or play near the river.

9.In a thunderstorm, it is not advisable to drive a motorcycle quickly, ride a bicycle quickly and run wildly in the rain, because the bigger the stride of the body, the greater the voltage and the easier it is to hurt people.

10.If you see the high-voltage line broken by lightning outdoors, you should be vigilant at this time, because there is a stepping voltage near the high-voltage line breakpoint, and people who are nearby should not run at this time, but should jump away from the scene with their feet together.

Ways to prevent lightning damage.

Lightning is a phenomenon in which a cloud in the sky collides with another cloud, resulting in an instantaneous violent discharge due to the opposite nature of the charge. This process is often accompanied by intense dazzling flashes and deafening loud noises. Lightning has a huge lethal power, and once a person is hit, it is easy to cause **.

CaseOne day in June 2008, Zhou Lin, who lives in the suburbs of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, and his classmate Gao Han came home from school together. It was evening, the sky was still bright, and suddenly a strong wind blew, a large dark cloud drifted in, thunder rumbled, it was dark, and it was about to rain. Gao Han and Zhou Lin pedaled their bicycles vigorously in the direction of home.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning split the dark sky and illuminated the heavens and the earth. Zhou Lin suddenly fell out of the car without warning, Gao Han was startled, and immediately jumped out of the car to help Zhou Lin, and Gao Han also fell. Thunder and lightning hit Zhou Lin, and Gao Han was also knocked down in order to help Zhou Lin.

It can be seen that being struck by lightning is very dangerous. So, what can you do to avoid being hurt during a thunderstorm?

Avoid all objects that conduct electricity easily, such as metal, charcoal, damp animals and plants, etc., and do not wear wet clothes.

Do not take shelter from rain under trees, especially in open areas, as they are likely to be a pathway for lightning discharge; Do not take shelter from the rain next to tall buildings (such as towers, etc.); Do not take shelter from the rain next to collapsed damp old buildings (such as ancient temples, etc.); Do not walk on the railroad tracks; Keep away from the building's lightning rod and ground lead.

If you have nowhere to take shelter in the wilderness, squat down immediately during a thunderstorm, put your feet together, hug your knees, and bend your head down to minimize your body size and ground contact area. If you have a metal object in your hand (such as an umbrella with a metal rod, iron utensils, shovels, etc.), quickly place it far away.

Indoors, do not go near heating segments and water pipes; Do not continue to watch or listen to the TV or radio (especially if it is equipped with an outdoor antenna), cut off the power supply, and disconnect the outdoor antenna from the TV and connect it to the ground wire. To be on the safe side, it's best to stop using lights and other electrical appliances to remove large objects that are easy to conduct electricity, and try not to hit them.

If the thunder and lightning become more and more intense, it is safer to close the doors and windows, extinguish the fire, and spread a rough blanket or a long wooden bench in the house, and then stand on it with your family.

If you find that the electrical equipment is burned by lightning, you should cut off the power supply as soon as possible and find a professional to check and repair it. When it is impossible to tell whether it is a power outage, watch the scene, do not approach people or livestock, and keep a distance of more than 8 meters.

During thunderstorms, try not to stay outdoors, especially not to fish, swim, or row in rivers and lakes, and to evacuate to a safe place as much as possible, but not to run or ride fast.

(1) Do not stay on the floor (roof) of the building. Standing on the roof of a building is very easy to provoke lightning strikes.

Pay attention to closing doors and windows. Experts believe that closing doors and windows to block the path of air movement can prevent ball mines from entering the room.

2) It is not advisable to use a shower for showering. In the unlikely event of a lightning strike in a building, there is a risk that a huge lightning current will follow the flow of water and cause a lightning strike on the shower**.

3) Do not touch water pipes, pipelines, gas pipes and other metal pipes, if these metal conductors are poorly grounded, lightning currents may discharge to the human body through the air through these conductors.

4) It should not be close to the exterior wall of the building and electrical equipment. When thunder strikes, stay 1 meter away from power lines and electrical equipment connected to them.

5) It is not suitable to enter low-rise buildings (structures) such as sheds and sentry boxes. Because these low-rise buildings have no lightning protection and are mostly located in the wilderness, the probability of lightning strikes is particularly high. When a storm is approaching and you are in an open area, a hillside, or a river, you can choose some areas protected by tall objects or overhead power lines, but the location should be more than 2 meters away from power poles or tall objects.

6) It is not advisable to hide under a big tree. If you have to stay under a large tree, you must keep a distance of at least 2 meters from the tree and branches, and squat down as much as possible and keep your feet close together.

7) It is not advisable to use umbrellas and other objects in the wilderness. In near-thunderstorm weather conditions, not only umbrellas are prone to lightning strikes, but also badminton rackets, golf clubs, shovels, hoes and other objects will bring the danger of lightning strikes.

8) It is not suitable to operate on the water surface or at the junction of land and water. The number of people who are struck by lightning at the water surface and at the junction of land and water accounts for 35% of the total number of people in the province. The conductivity of water is relatively high, and it is easier to attract lightning than other objects on the ground, on the other hand, the junction of water and land is the intersection of soil resistance and water resistance, forming an interface with a large change in resistivity, lightning.

9) It is not advisable to drive a motorcycle, ride a bicycle, and it is safer to be in a car.

10) It is not suitable for outdoor ball games. In thunderstorms, not only football activities are not suitable for doing soccer activities, but other outdoor sports should not be taken lightly.

The best thing is to use an umbrella to get into the room as soon as possible, not to stand under a tree, not to stand by a window.

Thunder is produced by the impact of the rain layer, because the rain layer contains a large amount of rain and the quality is particularly large, so the thunder and lightning occur in low-lying areas, to put it bluntly, if there is a big crater in the plain, then this big pit is the most likely to accumulate thunder.

If you are really in a building in the city, be careful not to pick up ** when it is thundering, or stand around it with good conductors, because such things will attract thunder.

Do not be under telephone poles and large trees, preferably in the room.

If you are outdoors, you must not hide under a tree, it is best to hide in the car.

When traveling in the scenic spot, you must pay attention to lightning protection, and Gao Shijin has the following advice:

1.Avoid geographically thunderstorms: Keep yourself close enough from the thunderstorm area and try to avoid exploring at heights.

2.Avoid exposure to buildings (e.g. bridges, buildings) or alpine terrain: lightning and lightning usually come from high places, so avoid taking photos or sightseeing here.

3.Wear protective gear: When it rains, you can wear a thunderstorm jacket and rain boots, and wear a lightning safety mask to protect against lightning to reduce the chance of being injured by lightning.

4.Physical isolation: Ancient buildings can sometimes be struck by lightning and can physically isolate themselves, especially if there is enough distance between a door and a window.

5.Avoid metal objects: Metal objects (such as handles, locks, hooks, etc.) are easily struck by lightning, and it is recommended to avoid these items as much as possible in the event of a thunderstorm to prevent them from being injured by electric currents.

1. Do not engage in activities in humid scenic spots.

2. When there is a sudden thunderstorm in the wild encounter, you should immediately search for safer buildings to avoid lightning, such as residences, public buildings, etc., or go down the mountain to seek safety.

3. Try to avoid mountain tops and high places, as well as close to big trees, cliffs, grasslands, fields and other places that are susceptible to lightning invasion.

4. Don't keep your eyes on the sky, close your eyes immediately and protect your eyes.

5. Do not stand in contact with the ground such as various electrical equipment, metal objects, hillsides, etc., and the relatively safe distance is at least 20 meters.

6. When riding a car, you can use the body as a relatively safe nest to protect yourself from lightning strikes.
