do you cover your mirrors if there's a thunderstorm?

Hi carloll, I have not done this , but we always shutdown all the electric appliance. but i do remember that my grandmother used to say that you should not look in mirror at night time.. if i ask her "why?" she never replyied but asked me to do whatever she says. who know thats truth or myth ,.thanks and enjoy

We I was young I used to that but now not anymore! I will tell you my own experience about lightning! This is 2 years ago! Me and my niece are trying to fix something on the window of my room because of the water getting in, and all of sudden we felt this electric shocks in our a body I taught we been strike by lightning and we both sat for minute and we're so scared our heartbeat go so fast. And after a while I realise that window is actually in front of a big mirror. Now I am to scared of lightning and hope not to have that experience anymore. Thanks

That's a new one on me. I haven't heard that before. I don't think it is true. We have had plenty of thunderstorms in the last 7 years. Thats about how long we have lived in our home. No broken mirrors yet.

That's the first time I heard this, lol. I can imagine a mirror may break if it is directly hit by lightening. Lightening can travel through windows just like sunlight and hit something behind it in the room but usually not far in. That's also why you should not stand at the window during a thunderstorm. But it is highly unlikely to happen. If you watch lightening, it's rather vertical. So unless the mirror is directly behind the window, nothing will happen. Superstitions!;)

LOL,, I don't know I haven't heard something like that before, I have no clue whether it's true or not.
