storm Now that we're going to remember some of the most important things when it comes to combat, because unlike than it may seem none of us are free from being victims of lightning, even in the city.
First we need to know what exactly is a storm.
Wikipedia
"A storm (from Common Germanic sturmaz which would mean" noise "or" tumult ") is a phenomenon characterized by the coexistence of two or more close air masses of different temperatures . The contrast associated with the physical effects involved leads to an instability characterized by rains, winds , lightning, thunder and occasionally hail and other weather .
Although scientifically defined as the cloud storm capable of producing audible thunder, storms are also known as generally violent atmospheric phenomena on the surface of the earth are related to rain , ice, hail , electricity, snow or strong winds, which can carry suspended particles as the sandstorm or even small objects or living beings.
storms are created when a low pressure center develops a high pressure system around it. This combination of opposing forces can create winds and result in the formation of storm clouds like cumulonimbus .
Thermal contrast and other properties of moist air masses give rise to the development of strong upward and downward movements (convection ) Producing a series of characteristic effects, as heavy rain and surface winds and intense electrical discharges . This electrical activity is reflected when it reaches the breakdown voltage of air, when it generates the beam giving rise to the phenomena of lightning and thunder . The appearance of lightning depends on such factors as the degree of ionization atmospheric addition to the type and concentration of precipitation.
storms derive their energy from the release of latent heat that occurs in the condensation water vapor in the rising parcel of the storm. "
To prevent is better to have a number of concepts clear if the projected storm lightning, thunder and lightning ...
The safest place during a thunderstorm are vehicles, and that conduct electricity to the ground on the outside, no injuring its occupants.
Inside a building should take the following precautions:
- Close / away from doors and windows. Stay away
- electrical installations.
- Disconnect appliances (as far as possible).
- not use phones, wireless only or mobile. (30% of cases of people struck by lightning are for this)
- Close doors behind you.
- away from metal objects.
- Avoid touching your hair.
Inside a vehicle must take the following precautions:
- Close all doors and windows.
- not touch metal parts of the vehicle.
- Under no circumstances leave the vehicle.
If the individual is struck by lightning while you are outdoors, we recommend the following:
- If you have a building or vehicle very closely, trying to reach him. Stay away
- high objects (trees, poles or other objects protruding).
- Find an area that is slightly lower than the surrounding terrain.
- not lie, because the wet soil leads electricity very well. Try bending
- as possible, but only touching the ground with the soles of the feet.
- not take shelter in caves or similar landforms, it builds up the ionized air that increases the probability of discharge.
The beam tends to fall in high places that will take them to the ground, a place where you should go to stop. Generally an object covers distance twice their height radius that is, if a body length of 10 m, all the rays that fall within a radius of 20 m generally fall on him.
suffer in case of a lightning strike, the probability of death is not as great as it might seem, since 94% of patients survive. However, it must be remembered that although the impact is not fatal, the consequences may be permanent. Some consequences are:
- Loss of consciousness, amnesia temporary or total loss of memory. Erratic
- temporary or permanent organ.
- Death of limbs or organs.
- Loss of ability to feel the cold, a result which, though simple, is very awkward: it is very common in people with this problem get colds, flu, pneumonia and hypothermia, which can lead to death. Even with
fortunate not to suffer these consequences, there are many cases that require psychological treatment for the affected develop the accident and the consequent fear that probably feel the storms, rain or even simple clouds.
And of course, do not go running and much less an mp3, and if you're at the beach do not ever get into the water, since most of the rays will go into the water. If you someone next to not touch it because the two do more mass and more peligroso.Si a storm will surprise outdoor bike thou shalt not lack, it is better to continue to stand with her. If you surprise a football field must stop the game and put you under cover, many people suffered in that lightning situación.Si in the Sierra will surprise you turn away from any natural drainage channels, as the water you could drag .
Especially not miss it, watch the show, there are 2 equal rays.
