You should avoid showering during a lightning storm because metal plumbing and water can conduct electricity. If lightning were to strike your home, the electrical current could travel through the plumbing and potentially harm you. It's safer to wait until the storm has passed before taking a shower.
Persons should also seek shelter indoors during a thunderstorm to avoid being struck by lightning.

Small open structures like sheds at parks or sidewalks do not protect people from lighting. People should avoid them during a lightning storm and go to a house or building instead.
Unless you feel like tempting fate, you should avoid doing several things that can and have resulted in lightning injuries and fatalities: 1) Standing next to a tall tree or metal umbrella table during a storm 2) Standing on a rooftop, especially with grounded antennas or TV dishes nearby 3) Standing at the highest point of a hill during a storm 4) Using a landline, corded telephone during a storm (no fatalities recorded) 5) Grounding a wire clothesline by holding it during a storm
