i know its a bad idea to take one when you have metal or coper pipes but we built our home with no metal or copper pipes just plastic pvc thankyou everyone
The chances of getting shocked or electrocuted while taking a shower is low. Older homes use copper or metal pipes for the plumbing. Metal and copper make great conductors of electricity. If a lightning strike should hit a house with metal pipes, the chance is there but still low. There are far too many other things to strike. Lightning is a static electric discharge that tries to find the path of least resistance to ground. A metal pipe isn't that path. Newer homes use plastic pvc pipes for plumbing. Plastic is not a conductor of electricity, thus if lightning should strike a home with plastic pipes, the chance of getting shocked or electrocuted is very low.
I took a bath once in a snowstorm and once also in a thunderstorm. No ill effects, either way.
