actually, water is not a conductor for water. Alot of poeple think it does but doesnt'. So if the thunder strike the lake or pool, why did the fish get fried by the electricity?

Water is a great conductor of electricity. Lightening can strike the water and travel some distance beneath and away from its point of contact.

Where there is thunder there is lighting. Alot of people think they are safe in the day time. Thats because they can't see the lighting and only hear the thunder. Many pools have steel built around pool area's. Within the walls or below ground level. Same as the ocean. Pipelines are there.

It's actually because if lightning strikes people might get scared and poop in the pool, or in the lake. And then it would float to the top and be all stinky!

If it falls close you are fried. A fish will get fried too. You will never see them, because fried, they are tastier for the other fish.
