The electric storm It's one of the most common meteorological phenomena that occur on our planet, meanwhile, is characterized by the appearance of lightning and the sound of thunder; When precisely the electrical discharge that the lightning brings with it heats the air and then combines with the cold air, what is known as a shock wave will be produced, which is what causes the roar of thunder.
Historically, the lightning-thunder society has generated very high fears among people and that is why as soon as the climatic conditions that anticipate this type of phenomenon are appreciated or the forecast announces its imminence, it is that people will seek refuge in closed and sheltered places, which temper the factors and consequences thereof.
For their part, young children are usually the most fearful of these storms due to the extremely loud noise of thunder and the electrical activity of lightning.
The intense environmental humidity, which makes the environment become absolutely unstable, is a fundamental condition when it comes to unleashing these types of storms.
But in addition to lightning and thunder, there is a third element that anticipates the arrival of electrical storms or can make us suppose that it will come and is the cumulonimbus, clouds with enormous development in the vertical direction and that are made up of a mass of warm and humid air that rises to the sky as a rotating spiral.
Also other climatic phenomena such as wind, heavy rainfall, hail and snowand, usually participate in a thunderstorm.
As with other intense meteorological phenomena, the electrical storm can unleash tremendous consequences and damage to the physical and material integrity of the population it affects.
Lightning, for example, can be lethal if it hits a person and very destructive indeed against a home. The fabulous electric shock they bring with them can immediately kill the person they land on. For any reason, given these meteorological conditions, it is recommended that people leave the open air and look for places to take shelter until it passes.
Other issues that should be avoided are: talking on the phone, using electrical appliances that are plugged in, touching metal objects, getting into water, either in the sea or in a pool.
