Do you give your kids baths in a thunderstorm?

Question

I’ve always been told not to even wash your hands if it’s especially lightning because it travels through water and metal, which your pipes are made of. My mil told me that it’s gross and I should still give my son a bath. I usually give him baths everyday. But I’m not going to if it’s dangerous.

Answer

Man I’ve been playing with fire my whole life lol. I’ve taken many showers and washed my hands during thunderstorms.

Answer

Grew up in Florida and was always told to avoid water inside the house when it’s lightning. We have a lot of storms though so it’s always a topic of conversation.

Answer

My friend’s uncle got struck by lighting when showering. So I stay away from baths and showers when there is a storm

Answer

Haha I’ve never heard this. I’ve always showered during storms, can’t count how many times I’ve been stranded in the shower when a storm knocks the power out.

Answer

It is possible but houses are usually grounded so it shouldn’t happen.

Answer

Omg I actually googled this like two nights ago 😂

Answer

Not all pipes are metal these days

Answer

I don’t shower or bathe during thunderstorms but I do wash my hands. One day without bathing your kid (or just giving them a sponge bath) should be fine if it’s storming.

Answer

Yeah, I don’t think that’s legit otherwise it would be a commonly known thing
