I always unplug. Seen too many weird occurrences here in Florida (I'm talking about lightning now).
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?

@jimintally I went to the precaution of throwing my coax back out the window as well! @mtaudio406 Hey my handle of Guscreek refers to my old place outside of Missoula and Alberton. Summers in the Rockies brought very predictable thunderstorms building around 330. The possibility of severe lightning was certain so I unplugged every morning. That was nothing compared to eastern Montana. HOURS of unending lightning (way funner to watch when its not going set the forest around you on fire). Again, about 330 the Monster Cumulonimbus would start to build and the portable music came on. Had a bolt hit the street and you would have thought a bomb had just gone off. So Yes ;) |
