The most important rules of safe behavior during the storm:

• The car - a perfect shelter from the storm. But with the bicycle or motorcycle is better to get off and set aside two-wheeled vehicles to the side.
• Excellent ride out the storm, while in the building. It is recommended to turn off all electrical appliances, so they do not burn because of a possible lightning strike to the power line. My neighbor since lost almost all household appliances, and took a large loan to buy a new one.
• Close the windows in the house, that there was no draft. Thunderball - something else fun. Who had seen, no one will forget. I still have goose bumps!

• All vertical and free-standing objects can take a hit. It should move away from these trees and poles.
• Even open umbrella can attract lightning in theory. Scientists are advised to switch off the mobile phone, or at least do not talk on it. But it is not exactly)
• I met with the tips to remove all metal objects and remove them in the package.
• The storm caught in the woods? Excellent chances of suffering from lightning minimal. You must try to wait out the bad weather in the dense undergrowth.
• But in the field it is very dangerous. As already reported, freestanding objects - a favorite target for lightning. Desirably zaset (or even lie down, if you are in the eye of the storm) in the hollow. Avoid hills, trees, poles and a haystack.
• The ponds also attract discharge. It is necessary to move away from the water as far as possible.

Do not panic, remember these simple rules and instruct relatives. By the way, according to statistics is your chance to be affected by lightning is 1 in 83,930. Reassuring! It was interesting? PUSH "Thumbs up!" And take care of yourself)
