Can you use cellphone during lightning storm?
Yes, your mom was correct: Using a corded telephone during a thunderstorm can be dangerous. Lightning routinely gets into copper telephone cables during storms and can overwhelm the fusing protectors at your home and enter a telephone set, causing a lot of immediate damage to the telephone and the user. Cordless phone handsets and cell phones are safe to use, although the base station of the cordless phone is as vulnerable as a regular corded telephone. Although cordless phones are safer you can still get a shock through them. My wife was talking on a cordless phone during a thunderstorm and the phone was knocked out of her hand causing her fingertips to be red and a tingling down her arm that lasted for several hours. The base unit was on the 1st floor and she was about 30 feet away on the 2nd floor of our house. I picked up the cordless phone and it had no power. I lost my base unit as well as many other appliances in the house.
