Be careful of lightning strikes during the thunderstorm season

Be careful of lightning strikes during the thunderstorm season. As thunderstorm weather becomes more frequent, be aware of the risk of lightning to avoid injury. The rural areas in the plains are relatively open; farmers working in the fields can easily become \"lightning rods.\" Therefore, during thunderstorms, people should stay indoors as much as possible. If it’s really unavoidable, they should avoid walking on very open areas, and certainly not take shelter under trees or utility poles. What issues should be considered when preventing lightning strikes? Thunderstorm-related injuries often occur in the wild or open areas, so how can one protect oneself from such injuries when in the outdoors? Meteorology experts have identified 5 key elements for lightning protection: 1. When thunder occurs in the countryside or open areas, never take shelter under trees or in thatched huts, simple shelters, or isolated houses that lack lightning protection; instead, return as soon as possible to a building equipped with lightning protection ; 2. Stay away from the lightning rods of buildings and their grounding conductors, as well as various antennas and utility poles and towers ; 3. Do not pick up or touch metal objects, such as hoes, sickles, and umbrellas with metal parts ; 4. Avoid outdoor ball games, and it is not advisable to swim in rivers, lakes, or outdoor swimming pools ; 5. When there is no place to take cover, squat down with feet together to lower your height and reduce the risk of being struck by lightning. Sea friends, do you think it’s worth paying attention to? Criticism is welcome.

I feel like I’ve seen this post before :o Do not move quickly; move forward while keeping your height as low as possible.

Friendly advice: Those who have done something wrong had better stay indoors as much as possible; P

Those who often swear by the sky probably can’t do it either, right? ;P

Maybe after being struck by lightning, one gets transported to another world~

Special support for those who have been struck by lightning and then made to go through this; it might well turn into another power struggle

It’s thundering; don’t go outside. No amount of prevention is as good as preventing the action from happening in the first place.

You have a good memory; the last time, what was shared were general precautions, which weren’t very authoritative. This time, what’s being shared are reminders from meteorology experts, which are authoritative and more comprehensive as well as systematic. That’s why it’s being shared again – after all, it can’t hurt for everyone to be more cautious.

Experts, enough! Haven’t been struck by lightning, yet you dare to speak.
