Thunderstorm Saftey
So there is a big thunderstorm out right now and I was wondering what is and isn't safe to do during a thonderstorm. I always head that you shouldn't talk on a corded phone or do anything with running water (wash dishes, shower, I guess even peeing could be dangerous). But I don't know if any of this is true. I mean it makes sense. But with how massive our sewer systems are wouldn't any lighting strike to a water pipe be diffused? Anyone know any facts?

i dunno like i said, stay away from windows, your suppost to stay away from water and off of the phone, or anything else plugged up i.e. head phones, heating pad, anything like that. All the things it sounds like you already know

1. stay off cell phones
2. stay away from trees
3. stay away from large metal objects (water tower, telephone poles, high tension wires)
4. don't go ballooning
5. don't take a shower
I thought cordless phones are ok.
