How can you avoid danger? First of all, before you get ready for the city, check the weather forecast. If weather forecasters promise a thunderstorm, it is better to abandon the trip or postpone it for another day. But if it happened to be one-on-one with a storm, then take security measures.

2

If the element caught you off guard, calculate howsoon there will be a storm front over you. This can be done by ear, fixing the first roll of thunder after a flash of lightning. Based on the speed of sound propagation: in 3 seconds it passes about 1 kilometer. The shorter the interval between the flash and thunder, the closer the thunder.

3

Being in a country house or in the country, duringThunderstorms close all windows, doors and chimneys. Do not heat the oven and do not light the fireplace, because lightning can strike the tube - hot gases coming out of it, have a high electrical conductivity.

4

Do not stand near the window and do not talk on thehome or cell phone. Stay away from electrical wiring, roof gutters, antennas, do not open the water taps. Turn off the TV, radio and other household appliances.

5

If a storm caught you in the forest, then for sheltertake care of a stunted area. Do not stand under tall trees, especially under poplars, oaks, ash trees and pines, they attract lightning. Remember, the higher the tree, the stronger the probability of hitting.

6

If you are swimming or are near a water bodytime of a thunderstorm, then you are an ideal pantograph. Urgently get out of the water and move away from the shore, go from the sublime to the lowland. Forget about the umbrella, it has a lot of metal parts and in a thunderstorm can do you a bad job.

7

The field is an open area and there is nowhere to hide. Your main task is to become the lowest point in this space. Do not approach the stones - boulders or bush, lie down and take cover in the dry lowland.

8

If during a thunderstorm you are in the car, thennothing threatens you. The metal body of the car - a closed loop, it is on it or raw wheels charge will go to the ground. Take care only to lower the car antenna and stay away from tall trees.

9

If all the same the person near to you has suffered fromlightning, give him quick and skillful help. Warm the victim, if possible, water tea. If the person is unconscious, carry out resuscitation: make artificial respiration, indirect heart massage. Treat wounds and burns. Give analgesic - analgin, solpadein - if a person can swallow. After this, immediately deliver the victim to a medical facility.

Tip 2: What to do when the storm approaches

In the beginning of summer, thunderstorms are especially frequent. It is dangerous because of the lightning, which moves at great speed and carries a high electrical discharge. In order to avoid irreversible consequences, when approaching a thunderstorm, several simple rules must be observed.

Instructions

1

Before the storm there is a temporary lull, andalso the force of the wind changes dramatically. When the thunderstorm has already begun, determine at what distance you are from the epicenter. Count how many seconds have passed from the flash of lightning to the thunder. The distance is calculated from the speed of sound. According to the calculation formula, one second is 300 meters. For example, you counted 6 seconds, then, before the epicenter of a thunderstorm 1800 meters. Accordingly, you have time to hide. If the thunder has thundered at once, urgently seek shelter, since you are in the most dangerous place.

2

Water is a good conductor of electricity. Therefore, if the storm has caught you at the lake, the river, do not bathe in any way. Move away from the reservoir for a distance of 30 meters. Go to the nearest village, a village to search for shelter. Do not forget to remove metal objects from your pockets.

3

When you are at home during a lightning storm, turn off allhousehold electrical appliances from outlets. Turn off the lights, close the windows and doors. Take into account that in case of a thunderstorm, in no case can the furnace be heated, since lightning can enter through the pipe, because the smoke has high conductivity. Disconnect the mobile, landline phone. Until the thunderstorm is over, stay away from them, since the magnetic field attracts electrical discharges to a greater extent.

4

In high and solitary trees lightning strikes often. Therefore, if you are in the forest, find a small shrub, squat and wait in such a situation for a thunderstorm. Note that you can not stand upright, and you can not go to the ground, because you need to take as little space as possible on the surface.

5

If in a thunderstorm you drive a car, graduallystop, park on the side of the road and muffle the car. When the storm has caught you by a motorcycle, scooter or other open transport, immediately leave it and move for a distance of at least 30 meters.

6

Find shelter, if at approach of a thunder-storm youare on the street. It is not recommended to use an umbrella, since metal spokes conduct an electric current. Step away from high-voltage poles, as well as solitary trees. Please note that in wet clothes during a thunderstorm it is dangerous, because the water is distributed by electric discharge with the greatest speed.
