Can you get electrocuted while showering or having bath (indoors) during a thunderstorm?

I tried MYTHBUSTERS but never got a reply.Can you get electrocuted while showering or having bath (indoors) during a thunderstorm?
The power of a lightening strike is phenomenal, and has been known to cause damage and death inside a house as well as on the 'open field'.


The likelyhood of injury occuring in the bathroom of a modern house is now reduced, due to the many earthing precautions that are now standard safety practise. However, with an open window, and the proximity of metal taps on a bath or shower, the chances are still there for the 'frizzle'!Can you get electrocuted while showering or having bath (indoors) during a thunderstorm?
yes you can, and in fact it was on tv recently that during a thunderstorm never take a bath or shower cos if the house is struck it will go down the path of least resistance, i.e.water pipes and water, same thing with telephones, never use a landline during a bad thunderstorm cos of the phone cables and sockets.
It is not just the lightning but when it strikes near by, it produces a large magnetic field that will induce electricity in to all metals. If u are outside and touch a close line that is metal, and the lightning strikes a block away it will induce voltage into all metal conductors for a block around.
Only if the pipe work is not earthed.
Highly unlikely, lightning would strike a high point and go to earth, before it struck your bathtub!!!
It dont have to strike your bathtub for you to get shocked. Water does conduct electricity. Lets just say lightning hit da plumbing pipes outside, there is slight chance it can travel thru da pipes and out da other end where da water is coming out.
