storm?


Question Posted Wednesday July 13 2005, 2:07 pm

Hi, I was wondering if it was safe to blow-dry your hair during a storm. My hair gets really frizzy if I don't blow-dry it as soon as possible, but I don't want to get electricuted! It's not exactly here, but to the east of me, but there's still lightning and everything. Please help, I want to make sure if it's ok or not. Thank you!!!

I would stay away from electronics, metal, and water during a storm, so I would say no.

no, nor is it a good idea to be on the computer.

While it's safer than taking a shower during a storm, it's still unadvisable. Power surges can really screw you up and yes, it definitely can travel through the wire. That's the reason many office buildings and even home PC owners turn off their computers during a storm. The electricity can come up the wire and actually kill you.
Odds are it won't happen, but it's possible and has happened to many people talking on phones during storms.

As long as the storm is to the east of you your current elecrticity stands to the left so basically what I'm saying is it's safe for 1.2 hours at exact.

The chances of your house getting hit by lightning are very slim to none... however it isn't intirely a non-existing threat. If the lightning is like strobe lights going on, definatly DO NOT. However, if the lightning is not that horrible, I say go ahead... but make it as quickly as possible.
