    MYTH: I’m In A House, I’m Safe From Lightning


    TRUTH: While a house is a good place for lightning safety, just going inside isn’t enough. You must avoid any


    conducting path leading outside, such as corded telephones, electrical appliances, wires, TV cables,


    plumbing (including plastic pipes with water in them), metal doors or window frames, etc. Don’t stand near a


    window to watch the lightning. An inside room is generally best.
