00:00All things, people, animals, or structures that are outside the house, as long as there is an ongoing thunderstorm activity and there is a movement of lightning and thunder, it is possible that lightning will strike.
00:17But there is a greater chance if these are placed in higher places because the distance that the lightning will strike from the thunderstorm cloud is small, it will go to higher places.
00:31If we are outside the house and there is a movement of lightning and thunder, as much as possible, we should avoid places that have waterways because if there is a lightning strike, the current will travel in the water.
00:49And if we are standing on a pavement that has, let's say for example, flood water, we can get electrocuted.
00:57We should also avoid places that have metal structures, for example, waiting sheds that have metal handrails or near billboards that have metal frames.
01:08We should also avoid places that have power lines.
01:14So, those are some of the places that we should avoid if there is an ongoing thunderstorm activity that causes lightning and thunder in our area.
01:28Well, first of all, if we can go inside our house or in modern-day buildings that are really well-made and can withstand any forms of lightning strike, that is what we would recommend.
01:44If we reach inside the vehicle while traveling, we should stay inside the vehicle and make sure that the windows and doors are closed.
01:58Well, there is a tendency that if lightning strikes, let's say for example, there is a metallic object inside your vehicle,
02:07it is possible that if our windows are closed, there is a higher chance that the lightning will strike the metallic object that is inside our vehicle,
02:15which can cause harm to the passengers inside the vehicle.
02:19Yes, our mobile devices, such as the cell phones, actually transmit radio frequency that can somehow attract the currents associated with the lightning.
02:35That is why, if there is a thunderstorm, as much as possible, we should avoid using our cell phones.
02:49What happens is that the glass is made of material, and the plating on the back is either aluminum or silver.
02:56And these are also good conductors of electricity.
02:59If the glass is hit, it can break, explode, or the lightning will pass through.
03:07The lightning will not be reflected by the glass.
03:09So, the glass will really be concentrated there.
03:13If we are using these types of mirrors, it is really dangerous.
03:17It can cause harm to us.
03:19For example, if it explodes instantly, the shards of broken glasses can hurt us.
03:30After that will be the scientific explanation.
03:32Although, in terms of why it should be covered, our seniors do not explain to us why it should be covered.
03:43Maybe, their belief is that if it is covered, there is a smaller chance that the lightning or currents will attract the glass.
03:53But we should always remember that the materials and the plating behind the mirrors
03:59are made of materials that are metallic by nature.
04:03So, the glass is still a good conductor of electricity.
04:06So, as much as possible, that is what our seniors thought.
04:11As much as possible, we should avoid using the glass.
04:14Especially during the event of a thunderstorm.
04:17So, to our On The Go supporters, watch the live stream of our program on the official accounts of GMA Network.
04:24Also, on YouTube and Facebook.
