Newer houses with PVC are ok, but...there are plenty of older houses out there (like mine) with plenty of copper pipes. This is from the CDC;

No. Lightning can travel through plumbing. It is best to avoid all water during a lightning storm. Do not shower, bathe, wash dishes, or wash your hands.

Of course, they're going to say that just so there's no confusion about what pipes you have.
