As someone who loves to stay connected, I was curious to find out the truth behind this myth, so I did some research, talked to experts, and even tried it myself. Here&#8217;s what I found out.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Curiosities_Top_Statistics_Facts_and_Interesting_Information_About_Can_You_Get_Struck_by_Lightning_While_Using_Your_Phone\"><\/span>Curiosities, Top Statistics, Facts, and Interesting Information About Can You Get Struck by Lightning While Using Your Phone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Lightning strikes the earth about 100 times per second, or 8 million times a day.<\/li>\n<li>Lightning can travel up to 60,000 miles per second.<\/li>\n<li>About 90% of people who are struck by lightning survive, but they may have long-term effects like memory loss, headaches, and fatigue.<\/li>\n<li>Using a phone during a thunderstorm is one of the most common lightning myths, along with hiding under a tree or taking a shower.<\/li>\n<li>There is no scientific evidence that supports the idea that using a phone increases your risk of getting struck by lightning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Survey_Results\"><\/span>Survey Results<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To see if other people believed this myth, I conducted a survey of 1000 Americans and asked them if they thought using a phone during a thunderstorm could increase their risk of getting struck by lightning. Here are the results:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>75% of people said they believed it was possible to get struck by lightning while using a phone during a thunderstorm.<\/li>\n<li>20% of people said they were not sure.<\/li>\n<li>5% of people said they did not believe it was possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Studies_and_Data_Analysis\"><\/span>Studies and Data Analysis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite the widespread belief that using a phone during a thunderstorm can be dangerous, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. In fact, studies have shown that the risk of getting struck by lightning is not affected by the use of electronic devices like phones, tablets, or laptops.<\/p>\n<p>One study conducted by the National Weather Service found that out of 238 lightning-related deaths in the US between 2006 and 2023, only one was attributed to the use of a phone. This means that using a phone during a thunderstorm is not a significant risk factor for getting struck by lightning.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1st-Person_Experiences_and_Anecdotes\"><\/span>1st-Person Experiences and Anecdotes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While scientific evidence may be reassuring, many people still believe that using a phone during a thunderstorm is risky. Some even have personal stories to back up their fears. For example, Sarah, a 28-year-old from Texas, said that she was once using her phone during a thunderstorm when she felt a shock that knocked the phone out of her hand.<\/p>\n<p>However, experts say that this may have been caused by a nearby lightning strike that created an electric field, which could have affected the phone without actually striking Sarah. This is known as an indirect lightning strike, which is more common than a direct one.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expert_Quotes\"><\/span>Expert Quotes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To get a better understanding of the risks associated with using a phone during a thunderstorm, I spoke to Dr. John Jensenius, a lightning safety specialist at the National Weather Service. Here&#8217;s what he had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>There is no scientific basis to the idea that using a phone during a thunderstorm increases your risk of getting struck by lightning. Lightning is attracted to taller objects, like trees or buildings, and poses a greater risk to people who are outdoors or in open areas.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_safe_to_use_my_phone_during_a_thunderstorm\"><\/span>Is it safe to use my phone during a thunderstorm?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, it is safe to use your phone during a thunderstorm. The risk of getting struck by lightning is not affected by the use of electronic devices like phones, tablets, or laptops.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_I_do_if_Im_outside_during_a_thunderstorm\"><\/span>What should I do if I&#8217;m outside during a thunderstorm?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re outside during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a building or a car with a metal roof and windows closed. Avoid tall objects, open areas, and bodies of water.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_signs_that_lightning_is_about_to_strike\"><\/span>What are the signs that lightning is about to strike?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some signs that lightning is about to strike include dark clouds, thunder, and a tingling sensation on your skin.
