Outdoor jobs such as construction and agriculture, and outdoor chores such as lawn mowing or house painting are at their peak, putting people involved in danger. Swimming is particularly dangerous, as not only do swimmers protrude from the water, presenting a potential channel for electrical discharge, but also because water is a good conductor of electricity.
As with the outdoor activities, these activities should be avoided before, during, and after storms. Most people hurt by lightning while inside their homes are talking on the telephone at the time.
Surge protectors do not protect against direct lightning strikes. Unplug equipment such as computers and televisions. Cardiac arrest and irregularities, burns, and nerve damage are common in cases where people are struck by lightning.
However, with proper treatment, including CPR if necessary, most victims survive a lightning strike, although the long-term effects on their lives and the lives of family members can be devastating. For a shelter to provide protection from lightning, it must contain a mechanism for conducting the electrical current from the point of contact to the ground. These mechanisms may be on the outside of the structure, may be contained within the walls of the structure, or may be a combination of the two.
Inside a structure, lightning can follow conductors such as the electrical wiring, plumbing, and telephone lines to the ground. Many small open shelters on athletic fields, on golf courses, in parks, at roadside picnic areas, in school yards, and elsewhere are designed to protect people from rain and sun, but not lightning. Small wooden, vinyl, or metal sheds offer little or no protection from lightning and should be avoided during thunderstorms.
Regardless of the method of entrance, once in a structure, the lightning can travel through the electrical, phone, plumbing, and radio or television reception systems. Lightning can also travel through any metal wires or bars in concrete walls or flooring. Lightning can travel long distances in both phone and electrical wires, particularly in rural areas. In general, basements are a safe place to go during thunderstorms.
However, avoid contact with concrete walls, which may contain metal reinforcing bars. If you plan to unplug any electronic equipment, do so well before the storm arrives. Do not wash your hands, do not take a shower, do not wash dishes, and do not do laundry. Tall buildings and monuments are frequently hit by lightning.
Avoid being near a lightning rod or standing near metal objects such as a fence or underground pipes. All rights reserved. And what does it mean if your hair starts to stand on end during a thunderstorm? Share Tweet Email. Read This Next Signs of an extreme planet found in another galaxy.
