Sa ating mga kababayang Treceño, kanina lamang po pasado ala 4 ng hapon ay may 3 taong tinamaan ng kidlat na pawang mga residente sa ating Lungsod. Nangyari po ito sa may pilahan ng tricycle malapit sa Queen’s Joy Resort. Sa paunang ulat ay isa sa tatlo ay binawian na ng buhay. (Source: CDRRMO). Doble po ang gawing pag iingat at narito po ang mga ❌ hindi dapat gawin sa kasagsagan ng pagkidlat: 5 Things You Should Never Do During a Lightning Storm Playing in the rain is one thing – but playing in lightning is an entirely different story. Lightning is the third most frequent cause of storm-related deaths in the United States, resulting in about 30 deaths and several hundred injuries every year. Lightning injuries can take many different forms: burns, cardiac arrest, bursting blood vessels, etc. Our bodies simply weren’t built to conduct 300kV of electricity! We’ll identify 5 things you should never do when lightning strikes: 1.Stand in the Storm Rule #1, When thunder roars go indoors! Avoid open places like porches, gazebos, golf courses and parks. Safe shelters include homes, offices, shopping centers, and hard-top vehicles with the windows rolled up. 2.Use Your Water NEVER bathe, shower, wash dishes or have any other contact with water during a thunderstorm because lightning can travel though plumbing and electrify you. 3.Go Boating A boat sitting in the middle of an open body of water during a thunderstorm is essentially a sitting duck to a lightning strike. Not only are you outside, in the open, on water – you are inside of a vessel made up of large amounts of metal and other conductive materials. Lightning strikes at the tallest point of least resistance. On an open body of water? You are the tallest point of least resistance. Not only do you yourself face immediate danger, your boat can be completely wiped out by a lightning strike. It could fry your electrical system or destroy the engine. Check the forecast before heading out on the water, and make sure you’ve got boat insurance to keep everyone safe. 4.Touch Concrete Structures Concrete walls, floors and buildings typically have metal wires or bars through them. If lightning strikes the structure, and you’re leaning on a wall, you could be electrocuted. 5.Use Electronics Plugged Into the Wall Do NOT use your computers, laptops, gaming systems, washers, dryers, stoves or anything else connected to an electrical outlet. Lightning can travel through electrical systems, radio and television reception systems, and any metal wires or bars in concrete walls or flooring. You can safeguard your electronics and appliances by installing surge protectors in your home. Lightning strikes may be rare, but they still happen and can cause severe injury – even death. Always take thunderstorms seriously.

Lumayo sa open field at maghanap ng matibay na masisilungan 2. Huwag gamitin ang cellphone o huwag tangkaing maghanap ng signal 3. Tanggalin ang lahat ng metal accessories sa katawan katulad ng kwintas, relo, at bracelet 4. Kung nasa loob ng kotse: ihinto ang sasakyan, umupo ng tuwid at huwag humawak sa susi o anumang metal 5. Kapag naman nasa labas at wala nang mapupuntahan, gawin ang ‘lightning safety crouch’. Sa lightning safety crouch, gawin ang squat position at pagdikitin ang dalawang sakong. Sa ganitong paraan, hindi na aakyat sa katawan ang shock ng kidlat na mula sa lupa kundi tutulay lamang sa kabilang sakong. Ipikit ang mga mata at takpan ang parehong tenga. Kapag nasa loob naman ng bahay: 1. I-unplug lahat ng appliance sa bahay maging ang mga naka-charge na gadgets 2. Iwasang maligo o maghugas ng pinggan 3. Huwag nang kunin ang sinampay kapag kumikidlat Una ay. I-unplug lahat ng appliance sa bahay maging ang mga naka-charge na gadgets. Sumunod ay iwasang maligo o maghugas ng pinggan. At huwag nang kunin ang sinampay kapag kumikidlat Samantala, ngayong tag-ulan, hindi man maiiwasan ang maya’t maya pagkidlat at pagkulog, maaari naman nating maiwasan ang maya’t mayang banta ng sakuna kapag tayo ay laging handa.
