Can you be struck by lightning while taking a shower?
Yes, you can. If lightening hits the pipes outside, the electricity can travel through the pipes and up into the bathtub through the drain. However, this rarely happens and I would not worry too much about it.Another AnswerThis is highly unlikely as, even if lighting should strike 'the pipes', it will seek the most direct path to earth (ground), so is unlikely to travel 'up the pipes', into the bathtub, and down 'through the drain'! Furthermore, the exposed metal parts of a bath must be 'bonded' to all other exposed metal parts adjacent to the bath, ensuring there is no potential difference between the bath (and anyone in it) and any surrounding pipework.
Is it safer to take a bath or is it safer to take a shower in a thunderstorm?
Theoreticaly it is safer to take a shower during a thunderstorm. The chances of getting killed by drowning and by using a bath tub are greater than that of getting struck by lightning and using a bath tub.
