"My grandmother was terrified of thunderstorms."

I'm that way too. My nanny told me a story when I was little about a lady who died on the toilet when lightening struck and I've been terrified to pee during a storm ever since. Can lightening go through windows? I hear conflicting answers to that so never let my kids watch storms through our sliding glass door.

>>Can lightening go through windows?

No. Glass is an insulator - very poor conductor of electricity. But staying away from windows in a storm is a good idea, because of suddenly flying debris crashing through them, or, in an intense presure change, they can blow out, or in.
