Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms?


On one hand it seems like a good idea to unplug audio equipment during thunderstorms. But on the other hand the chances of getting your house hit directly by lightning seem fairly low. Some places get more thunderstorms than others. So I am curious what other people here do. Do you unplug your audio equipment during thunderstorms?

If you’re not home then obviously not possible. So best to have plenty of protection in place (which I do).

Power lines buried in my neighborhood as well, still, I presume strikes on power lines somewhere else on my grid could have effect.

Always and when we travel.  Borrowed my brothers NAD amp years ago.  Lightning hit a tree right outside the house.  Fried it. Never again.
