Explanation:
THE CLAIM -- Never talk on the telephone during a thunderstorm.
THE FACTS -- It's been around so long that few people take it seriously. But the claim that chatting on the phone in a thunderstorm can electrocute you is no urban legend. A bolt of lightning that strikes a telephone line can cause an electrical surge to shoot through the wires and enter a handset.
The odds of this are relatively small, and most phone companies have protective measures in place. Still, the risk exists, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recommends that people avoid using telephones and other appliances during electrical storms.
Cases of customers' being jolted while on the phone in a storm are well documented. A few have even died. In 1985, for example, a teenager in New Jersey was killed when lightning caused an electrical surge to flow through his telephone wire, enter his ear and stop his heart. Similar incidents have been reported.
