what happens when lightning hits your phone
Lightning is a very dÂ­angerous force that, yes, can even reach you indoors if you're in contact with the telephone or plumbing. Â­If lightning strikes the phone line outside your house, the strike will travel to every phone on the line -- and potentially to you if you are holding the phone. So, if you are indoors during a lightning storm, stay off the phone. If you must call someone, use a cordless or cell phone -- that way, you're not in contact with any wires that run outdoors. Stay away from plumbing pipes like your bath tub or shower, as well.
