[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our indoor pool does this. They said they need to upgrade their lightning system WTF[/quote]

You do know that you should not be in a body of water during a storm whether indoors or out, right?[/quote]

Lightning can certainly travel through electrical systems and pipes—really any material—but things that are inside a [b]properly grounded building [/b]should not be in any danger. [/quote]

That is hard to assess by inspection, there is no easy measure of grounding when talking about the voltages of lightning.

Since the outcome is electrocution of dozens of people, they close for thunder. I’ve never seen an indoor pool open in a thunderstorm.

Just like you shouldn’t bath or shower.

Also storms have become more intense in the DMV - it’s much more akin to Florida pop up thunderstorms in their speed and intensity[/quote]

interesting... i don't spend a lot of time at indoor pools and really only in the winter time.[/quote]
