Question

Is it dangerous to take a shower or bath when it is lightning and thundering?

Answer 1

I didn't need myth busters to tell me that!  Lightening can kill you in your house or car.  Do not talk on corded telephones, sit anywhere near open windows, or take showers or baths.  Basic stuff.

Answer 2

myth busters did a thing about how it could be bad if it is lightning and you take a shower...

Answer 3

No. It is not dangerous, because your house is grounded. That is to say, it is on the ground. There is also likely a long copper rod that is buried in the ground nearby and connected to your house.

It is known by science that electricity (including lightning) will always:

1. Seek the ground

2. Follow the path of least resistance.

In this case, your butt is not the path of least resistance. Therefore, you have nothing to worry about.

Answer 4

water and electricity are not a good mix. Don't play with God.
