When is it safe to shower during a thunderstorm?
To protect yourself from a lightning strike, refrain from showering for at least 30 minutes after the last thunder roll you hear.
“The most dangerous times for a lightning strike are immediately before and immediately after the storm,” says Dr. Bazzoli. “Lightning strikes can commonly extend 10 miles out from a thundercloud. So, if you’re able to hear thunder, you’re still within that strike distance.”
