      As long as your house is grounded through your breaker panel it cant happen

      I don't think it can electrocute you but it can poke your eye out.

      as long as you dont pee on an electrical fence you should be fine.   | |

| The weatherman on our news station said that it was not safe. Well you can certainly trust a guy who seldom gets the weather right to give you factual information about storm safety.   In all seriousness though, the Red Cross advises Working or playing in open fields; boating, fishing, and swimming; working on heavy farm or road equipment; playing golf; taking a shower; talking on a conventional telephone; and repairing or using electrical appliances are all activities that should be avoided during storms, according to experts. So I guess the weather guy would be right for once. (Even a broken clock is right twice a day.)   | |

And are you making fun of my weatherman?     | |
