I’m not sure, but I figure it’s something like this. Just one of those theories that could be complete bullshit that we all consider to be true and dangerous.

I think you're right. Well, if I'm ever home during a Hollywood lightning-filled super-storm powered by climate change and Donald Trump, I'm going to hide in my shower. Bathroom is a small room, so slightly less likely to be torn apart by winds. And there are cold water pipes in the walls to save me from lightning. Even from directly above, if I'm under the showerhead. Unless the Hollywood super-storm is also a Sharknado, then the flying sharks might come in for the water. For some reason when I picture this they're all cute little dogfish and aquarium carpet-sharks, but YMMV...
