Lightning safety pays attention to scientific "lightning protection"

Experts believe that there are three main reasons why lightning strikes have occurred in rural areas. One is that during the high lightning season in summer, it is busy farming, and the terrain in the rural areas is relatively complex, and the fields are relatively empty, which is the most prone to lightning strike disasters. Continue to work in the field, and some will also take the opportunity of rain to grab the seeds and harvest; third, there is still a general lack of some necessary lightning protection facilities in rural areas, especially after the ground is widely covered with power distribution, television, and telephone facilities. The probability is greatly increased.

According to experts, July and August are the high-thunderstorm seasons in Anhui Province. 52% of the thunderstorms occur throughout the year in these two months. July is the month with the most thunderstorms in a year. Experts suggest that in areas where thunderstorms occur, especially in rural areas, special attention should be paid to lightning safety inspections, and farm houses should be constructed strictly in accordance with lightning protection standards, and houses should not be built in areas with high terrain. In the event of a thunderstorm, people outdoors should find ways to reduce their height as soon as possible, avoid finding large trees to avoid rain, avoid placing themselves in open scenes as much as possible, or holding some metal farm tools such as hoes. It is best for indoor personnel not to use any household appliances, including televisions, cable phones, radios, washing machines, etc., and unplug all power plugs to ensure safety.
