The Cruel Lightning in Rainy Season
Rainy season is the blessing season to Cambodia and its people. It is the farming time. Farmer normally starts their farming in the early morning and end at the late evening. The main crop during the rainy season is rice planting.
One important notice of this year is the lightning kills many people and animal at the field and event in the city. The news reported that farmer who went out to do their farming were killed at the field. A few cases were dead as in group while they were serving at their land or outside the house to look after their animal. Others are individual who were killed by the lightning. A few days ago there was a lightning case that killed a young lady who came for chitchat with her partner at the riverfront where many people like to hang out.
After the lightning killed the young lady, the man who is her partner get on the motor and run away, kohsantepheap reported on Friday 15th August 2008. And at the same week and this week there were a few other cases on the news reported to kill a few more people and animal. That is abnormal that something like this happen in Cambodia where it was not happen to be very frequent that the lightning kill people like this at all in the past.
I wonder whether it is because of the natural disaster or the loose of natural resources and as a result it brings this phenomenon? Maybe, it is because of the growing and expansion of magnetic area with all the cable and stuffs like that around the living area that’s why it causes such problems. In order to prevent or to avoid something like this happen then individual should be aware of that and should not go under the big tree or big light stand during the raining and not using any mechanic tools while it is raining. Prevention better than treatment!
