STRIKE BACK AT LIGHTNING

Lightning is nature's most ] striking phenomenon, as the pun goes. It strikes the earth six thousand times a minute. In just the brief period it took you to read this, lightning has struck the earth somewhere a hundred times. There’s nothing you can do to make it go away, but there are. for instance, a number of things Americans can do to reduce the 600 fatalities in the U.S. each year and the more than SIOO million in property damage caused by lightning. The precautions we can take * are simple in regard to saving * our lives and inexpensive in 1 regard to protecting our homes - and valuable appliances. f For your own protection r 1 r- ‘ ' ib < HOME LIGHTNING PROTEC. ' TOR, tennis-ball »iae, protects against lightning surges, which 1 can channel thousands of de-1 structhe volts of electricity into the electrical wiring of your home. | when caught outdoors in a | thunderstorm, here are a few j easy rules to follow: avoid hill- । tops, isolated trees, wire fences ( or small exposed sheds. At home, stay away from open doors and windows, fireplaces, , and electrical equipment Do not take a shower or bath during a thunderstorm and avoid using the telephone. When lightning is striking near your home, don’t choose that moment to unplug appliances. If you do, you are putting yourself in the same danger from which you are seek- । ing to protect your appliances

—a surge of lightning current through the house wiring. It is this danger from lightning surges, rather than a direct hit by lightning, that causes the most damage in the home. While lightning rods can protect your home from damage by direct lightning strokes, insurance statistics reveal that 75% of damage claims resulting from lightning activity are the result of electrical surges. They can be caused by either direct strokes of lightning to the power line, or near misses, both of which can channel thousands of destructive volts of electricity into the electrical wiring of your home. These surges can puncture, burn, melt and destroy any wiring, appliances, and other electrical equipment You can now protect your house wiring and appliances from lightning surges with an inexpensive home lightning protector. The tennis ball sized device, developed by General Electric, is connected at the service entrance fuse or breaker box. This device channels the destructive voltage surges harm les !y to ground in a fraction of a second.
