And we're going to do *** weather school today and today we're gonna be focusing on something called lightning safety. And the big takeaway is this, this is the big takeaway that I want you to learn from this lesson. When thunder roars go indoors. Now, right now, I'm gonna introduce you to someone who's really good at following this rule. His name is Sparky. Yeah, here's Sparky. He sparky. Ok. So the thing is is when Sparky hears *** crack of thunder and if he's outside, he comes in really quickly, don't you? Sparky? Yes, you do. And at the end of this lesson, I want you to be good as Sparky is when thunder roars, you go indoors. All right. Ok. So let's get on with the lesson. Thank you, Sparky. All right. Now, I want you to look at the monitor behind me and I'm gonna start *** video and when the video starts, I want you to look at the tree, there's gonna be *** camera that's going to pan over to *** tree and I want you to focus on that monitor behind me and watch the tree. Ok. All right. You see that illustrates really good. What we're talking about there is no safe place to be outside during *** lightning storm. So many people, if the lightning is going on, they say, oh, I don't want to get wet from the rain. So they go into *** tree. That's the worst thing you could do. If you standing under that tree, you'd probably be dead. Right. So, we just want to tell you that when thunder roars go indoors, stay inside until you don't hear thunder for one half hour. Now, let's talk about *** couple of scenarios here. Ok. Let's say you're stuck outside and you can't get into *** sturdy building. Well, like we said, there's no safe place to be outside, but there are some better things that you can do. If you can get to *** hard topped car and not touch anything metal during *** lightning storm, that would be better than standing outside in the open air. All right. So if you, if there's *** lightning storm going on, get inside *** car, not *** convertible, it has to be *** hard top. And if lightning hits the car, that electrical charge gets directed around the metal frame and discharges into the ground. Ok. That's one thing to think about another thing. Avoid being the tallest object. So like we saw the lightning hit that tree. You don't want to be standing next to *** tall object. You want to spread out. If you're among other people and make yourself low. There's something called *** lightning crouch and I'm going to post more information in the comments section below. But that means that you, you get away from tall buildings, you get into some low spots and then you crouch down, only your feet are touching the ground and you put your hands over your ears and you tuck your head in, that's called the lightning crouch. Not perfect, but something you can do if you're stuck outside and can't get into *** sturdy building. And where are the warning signs? I mean, if your hair starts standing on end, that's *** pretty good sign that you're about to get struck by lightning. And if, if you could see that picture right there, uh, there are some people and their hair is standing on end. So what did they do? They said, well, let's take *** picture because it looks so goofy to have your hair standing on end. And what happened is they took that picture and then *** second later, *** lightning hit came and one person in that group died, they should have spread out and got away from tall objects and done that lightning crash that we were telling you about. Now, most people are killed by the first or last lightning strike. So let's think about that *** little bit. When the storm is forming, people take *** wait and see approach often. That's bad. That's when most of the lightning dusts occur. They see the thunder, they say, yeah, let's wait it out. Don't do that. That's when most lightning deaths occur when the storm is raging overhead. That's, uh, that's the least amount because people, hey, it's raining. Let's go inside. Let's take shelter. They should have done that. There's *** second time where people get hit by lightning and die and that's by coming out too soon. So, you, have you taken that shelter if you don't stay inside until you haven't heard thunder for *** half hour. If you go out too soon, there is another time where it spikes up for the lightning dust. Now, just remember once you go inside, that doesn't mean you're in the all clear either because if lightning hits outside, it can travel into your home through the electrical wiring or the plumbing. So when *** lightning storm is raging outside, there are some things you shouldn't do, don't take *** bath or *** shower during *** lightning storm. If it hits outside, it can travel through those pipes and electrocute you. And *** lot of us are being really diligent about washing our hands. But if there's *** lightning storm going on, you don't want to go to the sink and wash your hands or do the dishes. If you need to sanitize your hands, use hand sanitizers. But wait until you haven't heard that lightning for *** half hour before you take *** shower or go to the sink that sort of thing. And again, don't come into contact when there's *** lightning storm going on with anything that's plugged into the wall, like *** phone that's plugged into the wall. Don't use *** cordless phone. That'd be fine. *** computer that's plugged into *** wall. Don't touch it. If it's *** wireless computer that would be good and just avoid all electrical appliances, like hair dryers, all of that stuff can wait and tell us storm passes and you haven't heard thunder for 30 minutes, then it's, uh, you're pretty much in the all clear. So, the takeaway is this when thunder roars? You go indoors, right. So that's the latest weather school that we have for you today. I'll have some more weather safety, weather school tips for you next week and tell them, take care of everybody. Be safe.
