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.
