How to protect against lightning indoors and outdoors   How to protect against lightning outdoors   1. Quickly hide in buildings protected by lightning protection facilities. A car is an ideal place to avoid lightning strikes.   2. It should be kept away from sharp and isolated objects such as trees, telephone poles, chimneys, etc., and it is not advisable to enter isolated sheds and sentry buildings.   3. If you can't find a suitable lightning protection place, you should find a place with low terrain, squat down, put your feet together, and bend your body forward.   4. It is not advisable to use an umbrella in an open field, and it is not advisable to carry metal tools, badminton rackets, golf clubs and other items on your shoulders.   5. It is not advisable to drive a motorcycle or ride a bicycle, and avoid running wildly during thunderstorms.   6. In the unfortunate event of a lightning strike, the companions should call the police for help in time, and do rescue treatment for them at the same time.   How to prevent lightning indoors   1. Turn off the TV and computer immediately, and be careful not to use the outdoor antenna of the TV, because once the lightning strikes the antenna of the TV, the lightning will enter the room along the cable, threatening the safety of electrical appliances and personal safety.   2. Turn off all kinds of household appliances as much as possible, and unplug all power plugs to prevent lightning from invading the power line, causing fire or electric shock casualties.   3. Do not touch or approach metal water pipes and the upper and lower water pipes connected to the roof, and do not stand under electric lights. Try not to use telephones and mobile phones to prevent the intrusion of lightning waves along the communication signal line and cause danger.   4. Close the doors and windows. During thunderstorms, do not open windows, and do not stick your head or hands out of the windows.   5. Do not participate in sports activities outdoors, such as running, playing ball, swimming, etc.   6. It is not advisable to use a shower to shower. This is mainly because if the building is directly struck by lightning, the huge lightning current will flow into the ground along the outer wall of the building and the water supply pipeline. At the same time, do not touch metal pipes such as water pipes and gas pipes.
