Hi, I gave up trying to unplug everything. There are so many things on line at all times. I do however have power conditioners on my stereo and workshop (lots of test gear), UPS on both PCs and some other gear. The Utility company has installed lightning protection on the mains and all our utilities are underground. So in my case it lightning hits us.... I'll call the insurance company as I have replacement coverage. I did have a strike when I lived in Maryland. Only damage was a fried antenna wire that went to the attic, a burned out porch light and it "degaussed" an older color tv. Here (Arisona) I had it hit my chain link fence. Only problem there was it fried an electrical switch in my shed.
