No. I stay away from water in a thunderstorm. The National Weather Service guide says not to bathe or shower in thunderstorms. Metal pipes carry electric current if struck.

Absolutely not—no baths or showering.

To the PP who said “only showering is a risk” why do you say that?

I have showered in the middle of a intense thunderstorm. Probably wasn't the best idea. I won't do it again.

No. Lights out and quiet. It's traditional from great grandparents.

Yes because in the scheme of things this is the last thing I have to worry about

We don't usually lose power during a severe thunderstorm but it occasionally happens. My kids would hate a bath where the power went out. So would I, unless I had already started a candlelit bath (which I haven't done in a very long time).

Yes. Only showers present a risk, and that’s mostly theoretical.
