If you like your shower hot and steamy then this is the dream invention for you.
You see, I love thunderstorms. I love watching lightning ripple through clouds. I love the similarity between a night-time thunderstorm and the flashes of cannon fire inside massive clouds of gunsmoke. I love the
drama.
Installing a storm soundtrack, stereo and van der Graaff generator in your bathroom allows you to go to work in the morning on a high.
A hot shower, a decent fog and 500 "lightning strikes" can only be good for the human psyche, on a Monday morning. Take your shower in a thundercloud, right in your own home.
Turn it off before you step out of the shower, wet and naked. Electricity follows paths of least resistance. You may be the path least resistant.
lightning - triggered from dying stars millions of miles away?

Opening the shower curtain would turn it off. This is awesome, [Una]! Obvious romantic application...yes, even on a Monday morn. |
|

Frankenstein re-enactments spring to mind. |
|
| |
Or just turn on the thunderstorm sounds to cover up 'bathroom noises'. |

The lightning will give the game away, [CP]. |
|
| |
what about a hail storm setting for those warm late afternoon thunderstorms to cool you down? |
|
| |
Ah. I thought this was going to be about jalapenos or Indian food or something. |
|
| |
I couldn’t possibly afford one...but I could charge it. |
|
| |
Isn't there some old wives tale about not showering in thunder storms? Or was that not swimming? |
|
| |
There's a possibility of lightning arcing up the old metal piping system, electrifying your showerhead, bathtub or kitchen sink. Less likely, with PVC pipes, these days. |

The same applies to telephones. Copper conducts lightning very well, indeed. |
