Is it true that you can get struck by lighting during a thunderstorm while taking a shower/bath? I f so how.?

possible....but not likely.... your home plumbing is usually made of copper which is the second best conductor of electricity, next to silver... and the copper pipes are buried underground. most newer home's electrical systems use the copper water pipes for the ground in place of a grounding rod... so if lightning struck it is possible to charge the pipes and if you are turning the faucet at the same time you could get zappedIs it true that you can get struck by lighting during a thunderstorm while taking a shower/bath?

Yes. If lightning hits your house, the electricity can travel through plumbing and electrocute you. It's extremely rare, but has been known to happen, and in some cases, with fatal results. It's something that you should not worry too much about, but keep it in mind, and if there's a thunderstorm in progress, it wouldn't be a bad idea to avoid taking a shower if possible. But if you have to, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.Is it true that you can get struck by lighting during a thunderstorm while taking a shower/bath? I f so how.?
I never heard of that.


Maybe the pipes are metal and lightning hits it?
well u could sort of if lightning stricks a power line that runs to ur house and the power goes out the electricity from it runs throught the power line into the lines in ur house and goes along and when it reaches water u can be electricuted
while it is VERY VERY VERY unlikely it could hit the pipes if some are exposed or it coulf hit the house and because the metal is a conductor it would then transfer to the water and into you
You probably wouldn't actually be struck by the lightning bolt itself, but lightning always follows the easiest path to ground and metal plumbing provides such a path. In a shower you're standing in water which comes from and leaves the shower via plumbing so if lightning follows that path you're going to get an immense shock of electricity.
