pag may thunderstorm lang naman saka kung prone to lightning strike ang location nyo. lightning does strike not just twice but many times in a place, gaya pag mataas ang iron content ng soil. gaya ng sabi ko, yung spot sa congressional avenue siguro naka 10 times na nagtanim dun ng puno, 10 times na rin tinamaan ng kidlat yung puno so patay lagi.

OT: Effective bang maglagay ng ground wire from the highest point in your area? Para dun na lang mag-flow yung lightning.

insulation may be the key. you can use the phone when plugged to outlets but have yourself insulated.

weird, mababa nga ang voltage and amp output ng chargers.

one can also get a big shcok even with low voltages but with high current amperes.

you need a very good insulator that can withstand high voltages

Paano nangyari? Binuksan niya ang likod at nagkalikot habang naka-plugged-in? Or normal use (washing/drying)? Please elaborate.

I send this message to make you aware of the danger potential of the commonly used cellular phone. A few days ago, a person was recharging his cellphone at home. Just at that time a call came and he attended to that call with the instrument still connected to the mains. After a few seconds electricity flowed into the cellphone unrestrained and the young man was
thrown to the ground with a heavy thud. His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious, with weak heartbeats and burnt fingers. He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.

Cellphone is a very useful modern invention. However, we must be aware that it can also be an instrument of death. Never use the cellphone while it is hooked to the mains! This is my humble plea. Sincerely, Its authentic ......check the attachment .... (attachment is a newsclipping from a newspaper in Bangalore dtd 11 Aug 04).
