What Happens When Traveling To A Thunderstorm?

The possibility of being struck by lightning in thunderstorms is very small, but there is uncertainty in the weather. When lightning strikes, it is better to be careful.

In the thunderstorm, the following points are very important: do not avoid thunderstorms under the boulders, under the cliff and at the mouth of the cave. When the current passes through these places, it will generate electric arc and damage the rain shelter.

If the cave is deep, you can try to hide in it.

Don't ride or ride a horse in a thunderstorm, let alone fly a kite. Flying kites in the rain will cause lightning strikes.

Do not hide in the isolated cabin of the wilderness.

Clusters of buildings are good places for lightning protection.

Leave the highlands and do not shelter under the trees.

Away from metal objects, when lightning strikes these objects, it will emit smaller arcs on both sides, which can spread to a few meters away. The heat generated by the arc will make the surrounding air rapidly expand and produce shock waves.

Strong sound waves may damage the lungs.

Inside the car is the ideal place to avoid lightning. Even if lightning hits a car, it will rarely hurt people.

If you are swimming or on a small boat, you should go ashore immediately.

Even in large ships, you should hide under the deck and do not touch any metal.
