Talk about real events in rural areas.

Lightning strikes often occur in rural areas, mainly due to insufficient lightning protection devices and no awareness of lightning protection. Every summer comes, lightning weather will always increase. Although this is a normal weather phenomenon, there are many casualties and natural disasters caused by lightning strikes. Especially in rural areas, it seems that it has always been the hardest hit by lightning. It is often heard that someone was electrocuted or home appliances were burned.

This is mainly because compared with lightning protection devices in cities, houses in rural areas are shorter, so there are fewer lightning protection devices. The reason why lightning strikes are common in rural areas is closely related to buildings. Houses in cities are relatively high, and safety will be fully considered when they are built. Lightning protection devices will be installed in high-rise buildings, so few household appliances are damaged by lightning.

Most of the rural areas are self-built houses, and there are almost no lightning rods on the roof. Moreover, in the early years, there was no grounding wire when installing circuits and switch sockets in rural self-built houses, which laid a great safety hazard. The current generated by lightning weather has a great chance of burning home appliances.

Lightning strikes always occur in rural areas, mainly because houses and buildings have no relevant rules when they are built. Although every village in rural areas now has electricity, the infrastructure is still not as good as that in cities. There are powerful lightning protection devices around the high-voltage power grid in cities, but the lines in rural areas are relatively loose, and sometimes it may take a high hillside to reach the villagers' homes, which makes it impossible to effectively install lightning protection facilities. Every time lightning strikes, the probability of lightning induced by these lines increases, which is also an important reason for the high incidence of lightning in rural areas.
