Note: There are three important temperatures to remember when cooking meat or eggs at home: Eggs and all ground meats must be cooked to 160Â°F; poultry and fowl to 165Â°F; and fresh meat steaks, chops and roasts to 145Â°F. Use a thermometer to check temperatures.
Should You Not Shower When It's Lightning? If a thunderstorm is rolling in, your chances of being struck by lightning are one in 600,000, but this risk is elevated if you take a shower or bath, wash laundry or dishes, or even clean your hands in the sink during the storm.
Although some victims are struck directly by the main lightning stroke, many victims are struck as the current moves in and along the ground. â¢ If you can hear thunder, you are within 10 miles (16 kilometers) of a stormâand can be struck by lightning. Seek shelter and avoid situations in which you may be vulnerable. â¢ Use the 30-30 rule, when visibility is good and there is nothing obstructing your view of the thunderstorm.
