When we have or are likely to have thunder storms, I not only don't use my sewing machine or computer, I unplug them from the power strips.
Am I overly cautious? I didn't get much done today!
No way are you overly cautious. We had a thunderstorm and it blew out our cable DVR box. I had unplugged my sewing machine, thank goodness. I could take the cable box back and get it replaced by the cable company, but I would have had to buy a new machine if it had been zapped.
