[quote=Anonymous]The risk isn't zero, but it's pretty close - maybe 1 in 10 billion. https://www.adt.com/resources/shower-during-thunderstorm "In an older New York Times article from 2006, a former meteorologist named Ron Holle who tracks lightning injuries made the estimate that every year between 10 and 20 people are shocked in the US while bathing, handling appliances, or using faucets. ...It's unclear whether or not anyone has ever died from showering during a thunderstorm." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/is-it-safe-to-take-a-shower-during-a-thunderstorm-9966031.html "So, assuming there is one thunderstorm per thunderstorm day, the death rate is 0.013 deaths per 100 million people per thunderstorm. This is if you act normally."[/quote]
