Unplugging Electronics In A Thunderstorm

Rarely.

I got shocked while playing guitar during one once, though.

I live in the desert, so we get a lot of lightning storms when we get rain at all. Over 10+ years ago, the library system would turn off all of our computers (not unplug them) if a lightning storm was approaching. Now we don't bother, so you can take that how you will.

I've never had anything fried during a lightning storm, and that during times when it was so close it sounded like an explosion over the house. Also, apparently lightning once struck our pool.

I suspect that if lightning hits your house, there's really no recourse, you're just s**t out of luck. God's vengeance against dirty underpants.
