  2. Technology and knowledge have evolved since Franklin’s time, when the only method of protection was a simple lightning rod. Today, electrical engineers know the need for full facility lightning protection to defend everything from the structure, to personnel, to valuable electronic equipment, from strikes. https://www.lightningprotection.com/

  3. But how is this underrated weather hazard so dangerous that we require lightning safety tips as an important safety protocol? • One reason lightning is so dangerous is that it's hard to know just when and where it is likely to strike—or how it will behave when it does. • Another reason lightning is so dangerous is because of the destructive power it carries. The average lightning bolt carries about 30,000 amps of charge • To make matters worse, lightning isn't restricted to thunderstorms - you can't have a thunderstorm without lightning but you can have lightning without a thunderstorm. https://www.lightningprotection.com/

  4. Lightning injuries can also be caused due by: • contact (with an object struck by lightning) • upward leaders • direct strike • blunt trauma https://www.lightningprotection.com/

  5. So the first step towards Lightning safety tips is to always remember “When thunder roars, go indoors!” preferably in a house or all-metal automobile. • Additionally: • Seek shelter in a low lying area • Don’t go boating or swimming • Stay away from objects that conduct electricity https://www.lightningprotection.com/
