It's lightning outside. Can I still take a bath?
I have a brand spanking new bathtub, just installed today. And wouldn't you know, a big thunderstorm has shown up just when I wanted to try it out. So, is it really dangerous to take a bath during a thunderstorm? I mean, it's nice but not worth killing myself over.

2. Not advisable
according to the red cross's thunderstorm tips:

Personally, I'd wait.

3. Yes, if the Lightning Rod isn't grounded to the bathtub.
