It has nothing to do with mobile phone.



EDITOR—The claim in the letter by Esprit et al, that mobile phones are a risk when used in a storm, is
misleading. Although some people speculate that mobile phones pose a risk when used outdoors because lightning is attracted to metal, mobile phone handsets generally contain insignificant amounts of metal.

Following worldwide media interest in the letter, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) responded, saying lightning is not attracted to people carrying mobile phones: “People are struck because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. The wrong place is anywhere outside. The wrong time is anytime a thunderstorm is nearby.”

The medical profession is well aware of the misinformation on this topic as pointed out by Cooper.
The types of injury observed in the letter are also well known and Cooper also points out that no lightning danger is inherent to mobile phones.

Although many reports of lightning injuries affect people who are using mobile phones, these reports represent the ubiquity of mobile phone usage and of their users' inattentiveness to weather conditions and have nothing to do with the phones themselves.

Furthermore, the claim that the Australian Lightning Protection Standard recommends mobile phones.should not be used during storms is incorrect. The standard (AS/NZS 1768-2003, not AS/170 as cited) does not make any such recommendation. It advises people to use mobile phones instead of conventional corded telephones during storms because conventional phones pose a well documented risk.

Buhari and Tinubu is to be wholely blamed for this.

If Buhari had paid the lecturers, they won't be on strike and the young girl won't be at home.
If the druggie Tinubu didn't foist Buhari on Nigerians, the lanky devil won't be any where near the seat of power.


How did Tinubu forced Buhari on you when you and Tinubu only have one vote?

I was struck by lightning in my room while using my phone a few weeks ago as rain was falling. Later that day, I call an electrician and confirmed the thunder arrester was still good as all currents were earthed to the ground.

After the shock, I laughed and thanked God. It certainly wasn’t a day for me to leave
