Can you die taking a shower while there is a thunderstorm?
Yes, you will die. Don't do it. It's just like sex.Don;t do it, you will get pregnant and die.ANS2:The act of showering during a thunderstorm will not prevent you from dying, as your question is worded. It does, in fact, improve your odds of being struck by lightning. Being struck by lightning is not always fatal but, it frequently is. I have no idea where getting pregnant fits in with this but, it is probably best to avoid that sort of activity in the shower during a thunderstorm, too.

Do odds of lightning strike increase after initial strike?
The odds of a lightning strike do not necessarily increase after an initial strike. Each lightning strike is an independent event, and the odds of the next strike are determined by various factors such as weather conditions and geographical location. While lightning can be more likely during certain weather patterns, there is no direct correlation between subsequent strikes based on a previous one.
