Showering during rain or thunderstorm

alright! norman folks, would/do YOU shower or take a bath when it is raining outside? I know there is the old tale that you shouldn't shower during a thunderstorm, and figured it was a myth. but then I looked it up, and google has plenty of examples of lightning striking houses and water and showers exploding.

I live in a house near berry and Boyd. a few weeks ago, lightning hit something nearby and now my living room and bathroom lights dont work right. need to replace the bulbs in the living room to see if they just got zapped, or if the whole thing is toast. my bathroom LED light is definitely zapped and only barely flickers on now.

Edit to add: it didnt make me think twice until I had a child. Now, I am hypervigilant in general but after the light zaps, I have skipped bath night a few times recently when we really needed one.
