As for lights and power problems, the wiring inside my house is nearly 90 years old. It goes out all the time, not just during storms, although I can't remember any significant problems during regular storms. Usually, when the power goes out during a storm, it's because the wind blew a tree down onto a power line.
I ended up just waiting for the storm to pass for a bit, then taking a nice, late-night bath (my chances of bathing undisturbed increase significantly once my parents are asleep). I lit some candles in case the power did go out, which happened the last time I took a bath but had more to do with the space heater in the bathroom blowing a fuse. Damn 90-year-old wiring!
