Question: ok well its tuesday here in alberta,canada.... it was so beautful yesterday so its stormin like u wudnt believe now...i have to take a shower still but ive been holdin off because im not sure how safe that would be... is it safe for me to shower right now or should i wait till the storm is done...

Answers:
To be on the safe side, you probably shouldn't in the freak event that lightning strikes. However... old houses used metal plumbing that could somehow be exposed on the outside of the houses, a strike to that metal could conduct itself to the shower. But, typically most plumbing done today in new construction and newer houses is pvc - or plastic - and less is exposed to the exterior, so a lightning strike possibly conducting and getting you in the shower is slim.

Other Answers:
Wait.

I think that potentially lightning could strike and go for your metal piping, even if indoor. But more likely if you're plumbing runs on the exterior. I had a friend die that way, though, and may be over cautious.
