My Dad always insisted in turning off electric devices during lightning storms. Apparently there is a real reason for this but if you wiring is earthed properly you should be fine but I still have the fear
Is it true that you shouldn’t shower when there is lightning or is that another lie my parents told me, just like ‘you can’t put the internal cabin light on while driving’
