Do you refuse to take a shower or bath when it is lightening and storming out?

I will shower any time.

That saying "never shower during a lightning storm" came from the old days when most people's pipes were exposed and metal. Nowdays most homes are built with PVC pipe and they are grounded.

@DearAmbellina2113 Yep, but there are still some who go by that old saying.

The irony, we are having a storm right now ..... i will have a shower and see if anything happens! 😜
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@Shutterbug Of course! We were probably in more danger than we could have imagined yet we escaped unscathed.
😶
😂

@Tomorrow glad yoy knew surging meant surviving!😂
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@Shutterbug Lol. Got it figured out. ;)
What?... I adore rain storms.

I wouldn't mind it
Shutterbug · 56-60, M
Wait. There is a danger? 😲
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@Shutterbug Or reviving an old one. 😂

@Tomorrow retro is the new trend.... you will stand out from the crowd with this number....
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@Shutterbug I'm not sure being able to stand out in a crowd with that hairstyle, is necessarily a good thing.
No. Why would anyone do that?
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@Whiterosesociety I have seen videos and news clips cars struck by lightening. 🤷‍♀️
@Tomorrow Yeah, but the occupants were probably ok after the strike.
@Tomorrow so who knows?...I also have seen conflicting reports

Maybe I would if the storm was unusually strong and I was staying in an old building without a lightning conductor.
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@CrazyMusicLover Good points.

No, of course not.

Why might I need to, or more accurately perhaps, what am I supposed to fear?
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@ArishMell At one time people thought lightning would run in with the pipes into the shower/bath. 🤷‍♀️
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@Tomorrow Oh, I see! Thank you! I must admit I had never heard of that belief.
No...I want to be clean regardless. Although to be fair, thunder and lightning is a rare occurrence here.
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@Tomorrow We do have firestorms, and lightning would be a [b]huge[/b] problem.
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@bijouxbroussard Yes. I'm sure it would. :/
Hoodski · 36-40, M

Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@Hoodski Lol. Yes!

BalmyNites · F
@Tomorrow I ain’t taking no chances 😁
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@BalmyNites I don't judge. Just wondering what people thought. :)

Nooo..I love rain and thunderstorms and being out in them
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@Bushmanoz 🙄 Twice??! Ugh!
Bushmanoz · 56-60, M
@Tomorrow yeah..I don't know for certain, but she was not the sort to make things like that up and was terrified of lightening because of it
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@Bushmanoz Oh my gosh! I would be too!
