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.
In a thunderstorm, the safest place to be is inside a large building equipped with lightning rods. A vehicle such as a car provides complete protection by surrounding you with metal, which will conduct the lightning's charge safely to the ground. But it you are caught outside, don't stand under a tree.
