Do you pull A/C plugs during thunder storms?

I too live near the lightning capital of the world (Tampa, FL) and I used to, but I have had friends with everything unplugged lose equipment like Hodu did, lightning makes a huge EMF pulse, enough to cook electronics just sitting nearby, you don't need them to be plugged in to lose gear.

Now I run all my gear off PurePower conditioners with battery backup as I fear brown outs more than surges, but they protect from that too.
