00:28 Good morning Sir Chris
00:30 Sir Chris, welcome to Uning Hilit
00:32 What is the reason for the thunderstorm and rainy season?
00:36 Well, if we have bad weather, there are thick cumulonimbus clouds or thunderstorm clouds
00:43 Inside this cloud, there are water droplets and ice crystals
00:48 There are separation of charges, negative on the lower part of the cloud, positive on the upper part
00:53 And if there is an imbalance, there will be a spark of electricity to balance the charges
00:59 Either to the negative or positive area
01:02 So this electrical spark we see, this is the lightning that usually manifests when there is a thunderstorm in our area
01:08 Thank you very much Sir Chris. Lightning is really deadly, just like what we mentioned earlier
01:13 Let's talk about how to avoid lightning
01:16 For example, Sir Chris, we are outside our house and there is lightning
01:19 What should our loved ones do and remember?
01:22 Well, first of all, if we see a place where there is lightning, we should go there immediately
01:26 But we should avoid isolated trees, high trees
01:30 Because the higher things have a higher chance of getting hit compared to the lower things
01:35 And if we don't see lightning, we should go to a lower place
01:39 So those are just a few of our tips, especially when we are outside our house and there is an ongoing thunderstorm activity
01:45 Sir Chris, what if we reach a place where there is a building, can we say that it is safe?
01:51 Yes, a good example of what we will look for are buildings, houses, and schools
01:57 The structure should be strong but we should avoid placing metal or steel objects in those parts of the structure
02:05 Oh nice, thank you very much Sir Chris
02:07 Sir Chris, what if we are inside our car, what should we do?
02:12 If we are inside our car and we are driving and there is a thunderstorm activity
02:16 As much as possible, we should roll up the windows so that we are more protected from possible lightning flashes
02:25 Although, all the things that are outside, if there is a thunderstorm activity, can be hit
02:30 But it is more recommended that we are inside our car and the windows of our car are up
02:34 Sir Thomas, can we say that we should not go outside immediately if there is an ongoing thunderstorm, especially if there is a strong rain?
02:41 Yes, as much as possible, we should wait for the thunderstorm activity to subside 30 minutes after the last collapse or kidnap
02:49 If we can wait for a while, then we should go outside if necessary
02:53 Sir Chris, what if we are outside our town, for example, at the beach, what should we do?
02:58 If we are at the beach, we should avoid bodies of water
03:01 We should stay away from the sea because the water, although it is a poor conductor of electricity, the current can also pass through it
03:07 Sir, what if you are in the middle of the sea, you are on a boat, what should we do?
03:13 Well, as much as possible, if there is a portion that can be sunk in the boat, we should stay inside
03:21 As much as possible, we should avoid swimming for our safety
03:25 Because the chances are that we might be hit by a kidnap or the current can pass through the water and then it can be harmful to us
03:34 Sir Chris, this is for sure, many people want to know, if we are inside our house now and there is an ongoing thunderstorm activity, what should our loved ones do?
03:44 Well, first of all, we should avoid using electrical appliances
03:48 Because the lines of electricity outside the house, if hit by a kidnap, the current can pass through our power outlets
03:55 And if there is a power surge in our electrical appliances, it can explode and cause harm to us
04:01 So, what should we do? We should remove our appliances from our power outlets
04:04 It is better if we can remove it so that our electrical appliances can be protected
04:09 Thank you so much Sir Chris, our loved ones have learned so much, me included
04:15 Thank you so much again, Sir Chris Perez, my loved ones, stay alert so that we can be safe in this rainy season
04:20 You are welcome, good luck
