The danger comes from corded phones or mobile devices being actively charged during a storm. If your phone is charging and you're holding it when lightning hits, you're connected to your home’s electrical system—putting you at risk. Taking a shower, washing dishes or even running water from the tap can also put you in harm’s way. Even non-metal pipes can conduct electricity through the water itself.

AccuWeather has you covered with an array of information across the lower 48 United States.
