Lightning can travel through plumbing so you shouldn't shower or wash your hands or the dishes during a thunderstorm. That includes when you are taking a shower, washing in the tub or even washing dishes. Since lightning can travel through plumbing, “it is best to avoid all water during a thunderstorm. Do not shower, bathe, wash dishes, or wash your hands,” the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted. Get inside a safe location; no place outside is safe,” the CDC said.
