Many people associate the dangers of lightning
with being outside the house, but there have been some incidents in which
people have been injured or killed by lightning even though they were inside
the house. For example, in 2017, a person died inside the house. Investigators
concluded that lightning must have passed through open steel shafts and metal
tools before passing through the man's body.
It is not safe to use a regular wire telephone
during thunderstorms because it is connected to the wires outside. Lightning
can pass through the wire of the telephone set and harm the person using it.
However, a common misconception is that mobile phones attract Lightning. If
lightning strikes a person or a place and they have a mobile phone, it usually
melts or burns. People say that lightning strike is due to mobile phone but in reality,
it has no connection with it.
