However, physicists explain that by showering during a thunderstorm, people open themselves up for an electric shock, reported\u00a0<em>The Conversation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because if electricity strikes a house, it is likely that it will also travel through the pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the chances of being struck by lightning are low, being careful is crucial. The energy created by lightning, full of negative and positive charges, has to go somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When lightning strikes, it finds the path that is least resistant. And conductors allow electricity to flow easily. When showering during a thunderstorm, people put themselves close to two primary conductors: water and metal pipes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water easily carries electricity and so does metal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The electric discharge can travel through both and get into the shower or the tub, said James Rawlings, a Physics lecturer at Nottingham Trent University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mishaal Arshad C.M Underground News Scientists say one should not take shower during thunderstorms.
