What are the Do's and Don'ts to be followed during a thunderstorm when a person is inside the house?
Inside the house- Care during lightning
Lightning can strike telephone cords, electrical wires and metal pipes. During a thunderstorm, contact with these should be avoided. It is safer to use mobile phones and cordless phones. However, it is not wise to call up a person who is receiving your phone through a wired phone.
Bathing should be avoided during thunderstorms to avoid contact with running water.
Electrical appliances like computers, TVs, etc., should be unplugged. Electrical lights can remain on. They do not cause any harm.
