Claim: Handphone signals attract lightning.
Fact-check: No, the handphone signals do not attract lightning - FACTLY
Verdict: the 'national weather service ' categorised 'cell phones attract lightning' as a myth. also, on the 'cdc' website, it can be read – "avoid using corded phones. corded phones are not safe to use during a thunderstorm. however, cordless or cellular phones are safe to use during a storm." hence the claim made in the post is false.
