RE: Thunder and Lightning: Why Standing Beside a Taller Object Won't Keep You Safe

in #stemng7 years ago

Hello @greenrun

Oops! Staying near a tall object during lightening storm is harmful?

Jeez!
Back then, during lightening storm, the kids in the house do bath under the rain and hide under tree when it start lightening but I will caution them henceforth.

I was told but not make proper research on it that backing a wall during lightening storm is bad too and can harm too.

I hope this is not a superstitious story been told.

@bollutech

Sort:  

There is no superstition. All science with references that are verifiable.

So what you are telling me now is that , sitting while backing the wall or backing the wall of the house when it's lightening storm is very harmful to health.

And this will definitely relate to @turpsy comment that , we were told not to sit/ stand at the entrance of the door when it's raining.

Learning never end. Thank

I did not mention any such thing in my article.

I mean what Nigerians parent do tell their children not talking on the article here

@bollutech Ok. My parents, who are Nigerians by the way, never told me any.

Perhaps they think you don't need it because you're kind and another for me of wiki.

Till today, mother will say doing this is a taboo in Yoruba land and other stuff like that

I really do not know about this angle to this issue.
