Small open structures like sheds at parks or sidewalks do not protect people from lighting. People should avoid them during a lightning storm and go to a house or building instead.
Lightning is attracted to metal, things that are of great height (such as trees), and water. This why a person should never stay in water, near metal, or under a tree when it is lightning.
Laying in a puddle during a rain storm might kill you if there is plenty of lightning. If a person is on the ground, they are in a perfect position to be hit by lightning if they are near water. Lightning will always follow the path of least resistance.
no, it is an electrical phenomenon associated with extreme weather
Yes, lightning can strike a person through a window, especially if the window is open or if the person is in direct contact with metal framing the window. It is important to stay away from windows and avoid contact with metal objects during a lightning storm to reduce the risk of being struck.
Standing under a tree offers the least protection during a lightning storm because the tree can be struck by lightning, leading to potential injury or harm for anyone nearby. It is safer to seek shelter indoors or in a structure with a lightning protection system.
If automatic updating is enabled windows updates should occur as soon as they become available. When shutting down the computer a person may notice that during the shut down process that the computer is installing these updates.
You need to rephrase this question so it can be answered.
Intelligently and like a computer
No, having Harrington rods does not impact a person's likelihood of being struck by lightning. Lightning strikes are random and do not target individuals based on medical devices they may have. It is important to follow safety precautions during storms regardless of any medical devices.
When a person is attending an online course or webinar the required software will vary. If coursework is required, Microsoft Office or Open Office should be on the person's computer.
It isn't. The advise is NOT to take shelter under a tree. Lightning tends to strike tall objects such as trees. A person standing near a tree that gets hit by lightning may be electrocuted. Trees may even explode when hit by lighting, which is another hazard.
