Today's question: Who are three of the five oldest active players in the There's an old saying that lightning never strikes twice. The old saying to wrong. Studies show it comes closer to hitting the same spot twice more often than moot people realise. The National Safety council says that there are about one or two strokes of lightning per square mile in every thunderstorm. So if your area has 90 storms a yeer, you could have from 59 to 100 lightning bolts strike within a half mile of your house each year. At any moment of the day, about 1,900 thunderstorms are occurring around the world. Several years ago, the council says, a farmer qsac Moiine, 111., had Mane strange ana terrible rendezvous with lightning. One summer it hit his barn, burned it to the ground and killed all his livestock except two horses. Ten days later, lightning dsstroyed his hayshed. Some time later, a bolt struck a barbed wire fence he was working on and knocked him down, but he lecovered. Seven years after his first meeting with lightning, he was standing in a neighbor's barn when lightning entered, struck him in the chest and killed Mm. While National Oceanic and At- moepheric administration statistics show thst fewer than 300 people are killed by lightning eech year, the injury rate runa into the thousands and property damage costs reach more than 6400 million annually. Forest snd livestock suffer moot from lightning's violence. Of every 1,000 occidental cattle dee the in the U.S. annuslly, 650 are lightning related, according to the Lightning Protection institute. Phil Dykstrs, home department manager of the National Safety council, says the most dangerous time to be caught in s thunderstorm is Just before the storm when dark clouds appear and the air feels chsrged with electricity. "If you are outdoors then and your hair feels ss if it's standing on end," he says, "you are being set up as a perfect lightning target. Fall flat immediately and get into a ditch or other depreesion if possible." Few people are actually hit by a direct bolt of lightning, and moat of timet ***> are don't live to tell about It, Dykstra says. However, there are a number of persons who hove survived after receiving prompt raeuscitation treatment followed by professional medical care. He says "sidestrikes" actually injure more people than direct strikes do. A sidestrike occurs ss lightning seeks t,he best current conductor for a fast trip to the ground. A tree does not conduct current as weQ as a human body, so as the electricity flows down the outside of s tree trunk, it may Jump to a person neerby. Some dangerous placee to be during a thunderstorm, he says, are on a golf course, whether in the open or in sn exposed shelter; in s boot; swim­ ming; atop a hill; st the beach; under an isolated tree; near a wire fence, clothesline, overhead wires or towers; or riding a bike, tractor, horse or farm machinery. "The first thing to do if you find yourself caught In one of those locations" Dykstra says, "is to look for s building, preferably one protected with lightning rods snd grounds or one thst is steel framed. If you're tn your car, stay Inside it with windows closed. If you can't find shelter, get into s ravine, under a cliff, in s ditch, in s cave or flat on the ground." He says two good rules to remember if you sense a thuaderstrom comii^ are: find proper shelter immediately ; and don't ever let yourself be the highest object In the ]> j> I > I » * i Dykstra says the best way to keep your house safe from lightntna to to put in s protection system of light metal rods and conductors thst will carry the electricity safely into the ground. He cautiona, however, that this to not a "do-it-yourself Job."
