Lightning struck the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. How to prevent disasters when traveling?

Thunder and lightning is a terrifying existence in nature. Just recently, lightning struck and damaged the Oriental Pearl Tower. This scene shocked people. These lightning outbreaks serve as a warning to people that during thunderstorms, we need to take precautions to prevent ourselves from being struck by lightning. How should we prevent lightning strikes and ensure the safety of our lives? 1. If there is a sudden thunderstorm

For a sudden thunderstorm, there will be many people outside and they will not have time to prepare. At this time, many people will go to the trees to take shelter from the rain. This is a wrong approach. Trees can easily trigger thunder. If you are unlucky, you can easily be struck by lightning. Therefore, even in thunderstorm weather, we should stay more than five meters away from trees to ensure our own safety. In addition, you can also prevent lightning strikes by wearing rubber shoes. And when you are outside, you should try to ensure that you lower your altitude. If it is too high, it will easily trigger lightning. This is the principle of lightning rods, which use high-pointed needles to guide lightning into the ground, thereby eliminating lightning damage. If we are outside, the most taboo thing is to make phone calls during thunderstorms. Phones transmit electromagnetic waves that can trigger thunder and can easily lead to tragedies. 2. Indoor prevention

If you are indoors, you need to close the doors and windows. This can prevent lightning from hitting the room and effectively reduce the losses. The more important point is to keep the room dry, which can effectively reduce the probability of lightning strikes. At the same time, try not to make phone calls during thunderstorms. Just like outdoors, electromagnetic waves will trigger thunder when making phone calls, which can easily lead to unfortunate incidents. If a severe thunderstorm occurs, you can take measures to cut off the power supply, which can effectively prevent being struck by lightning.

When we encounter a disaster, we should adopt the correct method to face it instead of panicking. Just like thunderstorms, we should take correct measures to protect ourselves when we are outside. We should also take certain methods to reduce the probability of lightning strikes at home.
