I have also heard that, but I have never been convinced. Since I will
admit I am not sure, there are a number of possibilities some fatal and some
not noticeable, I think I will just avoid taking shows during thunder
storms. Of course I would much rather watch and enjoy the storm than to
bath during it. I really like them. I grew up where the best part of
summer was watching out the kitchen window waiting for the lighting to hit
the big power line going into the electrical substation where it would
produce one lovely set of fireworks. I find a thunderstorm soothing.
