Is taking a shower safe during lightning storm?

No—in fact, the CDC encourages avoiding all water in your house during a thunderstorm. Your plumbing and the water coming out of it can conduct electricity if lightning strikes your home, and that can lead to you getting seriously hurt. Granted, this is a pretty rare occurrence, but experts still advise against it as an easy way to avoid something potentially fatal. You should wait half an hour after hearing the last boom of thunder before hopping into the shower.


Is there such a thing as heat lightning?

In short, yes, there is such a thing as heat lightning. Heat lightning is often seen on hot summer days, hence the name. It is usually out in the distance or on the horizon and usually comes from distance thunderstorms. They are not accompanied by sound because they are too far away. "Traditional" lightning occurs when negatively charged particles in the clouds bump into each other to eventually form lightning. Heat lightning can often be signs of a thunderstorm coming in the near future.

What does it mean when you dream of a storm coming and can't reach your child?

It probably means you tend to worry a lot, or possibly that you secretly feel guilty about not worrying a lot, either way works.It certainly doesn't mean that there will be a storm in which you will not be unable to reach your child.On the date the question was posted, a severe storm warning was posted for much of the United States. The media attention on the storm might easily have triggered this dream. Otherwise, the dream probably illustrates the normal anxiety most parents feel for their child's safety.
