They tested this on Mythbusters.
I believe they called it "possible" but I don't recall specifics. They also tested dropping an appliance into the water, and that was more recent, so I may be getting them confused. I'm fairly sure that people die each year while showering in a thunderstorm.
Edit: Here's episode specifics:Episode 30: Son of a Gun
It's survived untried for nearly 150 years: The myth of the Civil War soldier who was shot clean through his nether regions and the nearby woman who became pregnant when hit by the traveling bullet. Good luck, Jamie and Adam! Then the two test just how dangerous it is to use the telephone or take a shower during a thunderstorm. Finally, Scottie and Kari attempt to re-create the voyage of a hapless pair of boating greenhorns who set out to sea without first detaching their boat from their car trailer.
premiere: March 30, 2005

If there is enough light, go for it. I remember as a wee lad taking a bath during t-storms. I miss the t-storms from back then...
