How will I know if my house has taken strucked by lightning when I’m inside? You will hear a loud and powerful “boom” like you would with most lightning strikes, but this one will be memorable and will surly shake your home.

If you’re caught in a thunder storm, you increase your risk of getting strucked by lightning if you are taking shelter under a tall or isolated tree. Being the tallest object in the area more makes you a threat to a direct strike. One way to keep lightning from damaging your home is to install a lightning rod, which channels a direct strike safely away from your home. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPRQxMxFKv_/?utm_medium=tumblr • Support Paul Ikpe Blog PIB By Sharing, Liking & Commenting
