Rules of conduct in a thunderstorm

1. Do not hide under single trees or small groups of trees.

2. Remove all metal objects from the head and body. Try not to be the highest point in the field.

3. If your hair stands on end or you hear a strange buzzing from nearby objects, immediately go to another place.

4. Do not hold long metal objects (fishing rods, umbrellas, clubs, etc.) in your hands and do not approach metal structures (for example, fences).

5. Do not use a mobile phone.

6. Avoid cycling, riding, or riding in an open-top car.

7. Get out of the water immediately if you are swimming and find shelter.

These videos illustrate the electrification of hair and the buzzing that can occur due to the strong electric field that occurs during a thunderstorm. If you see something like this, know that lightning may strike nearby in the near future - immediately leave the hill and look for shelter.
