The child was struck by lightning while holding an umbrella on a rainy day and his pants were torn. After the college entrance examination, Xiao Zhang, a 19-year-old girl, released geese for her mother who had just finished the operation. When she called her mother with an umbrella in a rainy day, she was hit by lightning. Then, will calling in the rain increase the probability of being struck by lightning? Let's learn the details and results.
How did you get hit by lightning while holding an umbrella
When it rains and thunders, it is also a very dangerous thing to use mobile phones outdoors. Once struck by thunder, it will cause irreparable consequences, ranging from injury to life-threatening.
Recently, there was such an event that a telephone call was split by thunder. On July 12, Xiaozhang, a 19-year-old girl in Fuyu, Heilongjiang Province, released geese for her mother who had just finished the operation after the college entrance examination. Her mother's eyes could not see light, so the girl went to the dianzi for her mother and looked at the geese for a while. It would be raining. The girl sat in the middle with an umbrella, I didn't sit in the tree forest, and then I called my mother to chat. Suddenly, she lay down and didn't know anything.
The girl's mother said that she had received a call from her daughter. The daughter cried on the phone and said that she had been hit by the electricity. She was so frightened that the girl's mother picked up an umbrella and ran out. On the road, she met a kind-hearted person who learned that her daughter had been struck by lightning. She quickly took her to find the girl. After the girl's mother arrived, the girl could sit up, But the legs couldn't move at all, the pants were broken, and the girl's legs lost consciousness!
The girl was also frightened for a moment. She thought that her legs were over and she was unconscious. She couldn't go to the university just after the exam. When the kind-hearted person saw it, he rushed to the car with the girl in his arms and took the girl to the hospital. Fortunately, the girl didn't have much to do, and the kind-hearted person left without leaving his name and phone.
Does lightning strike have anything to do with phone calls
In April 2014, the high voltage laboratory of Sichuan University conducted a test, which proved that the mobile phone used by thunderstorm angel had no significant lightning effect. The experimental results show that in the 20 electric shock experiments, 11 times hit the ground, 8 times hit the doll without the mobile phone, and only 1 time hit the doll with the mobile phone.
The famous "rumor terminator" program in the United States has also done experiments to test lightning strikes for this purpose. The experimental data also clearly show that 'calling mobile phones in rainy days' will not increase the probability of lightning strikes.
Zhang Yijun, a researcher at the lightning physics and Protection Engineering Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, said: it is likely that the person is hit by lightning in a thunderstorm because he is in a relatively open position. In this case, even without a mobile phone, the person is very likely to suffer an electric shock.
Although the use of mobile phones in thunderstorms does not increase the probability of being struck by lightning, the use of fixed phones is quite dangerous. Because telephone lines connect outdoor and indoor, outdoor objects are more likely to be hit than indoor objects. If telecommunications equipment or surrounding objects are hit by lightning, it may indeed endanger the users of fixed phones.
