I unplug my sewing machine at the machine when I am not using it. I don't sew with an electric machine during storms, just my treadle. I also use a battery operated Ott light, rather than one of my electric ones.
I also don't bathe or shower during electrical storms, either. My house is old enough to still have metal pipes, and I have an enamel coated bathtub, and I was told that the electricity could follow the pipes, and if I was in the tub, I'd get shocked. Has anyone else been told this?
