Can a thunder storm harm you while indoors?


We pondered this elemental enquiry for a while until the air turned negative. Realising we had to crack on, we have decided to strike while the ion was hot! We don't want you going off and talking to a bot!

If you're unlucky enough to have lightning directly strike your building, show no fear, be plucky, say to yourself that wasn't near!

Be heartened, that dangerous electrical current from the flash will typically travel through the wiring and/or plumbing, and then into the ground. See, don't worry, you're sound as a pound.

However, consider getting out of that sink, hot tub or shower in an urgent matter. It's best to avoid the charge; you mad hatter.

Stay away from TVs, radios, corded telephones and computers, unless you want to be forever known as Ray.

So during thunder, take these precautions to avoid being charred into chunder!

I have always wondered about lighting and the wiring and plumbing in a house. Thank you, this is not only good advice but may save a life.

I am terrified of lightening, although watching it flash through the sky is absolutely breathtaking. Anyway, during a lightening storm, I stay as far away from windows as possible and I will not shower or wash dishes when it is lightening. I won't talk on the telephone either. Great advice, thanks!
