Weather Warning!
Since we have had several days of heavy thunder and lightning, this might help someone avoid danger: “It is a bad idea to take a shower during a thunderstorm. If lightning hits your house, it can travel through your plumbing and shock anyone who comes into contact with water flowing through it. People have been shocked or killed while bathing, washing dishes, and doing laundry. (This is why indoor pools often close during storms.”

The government dropped the increase after the riots broke out.”
