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.
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.
