I never start unplugging stuff when lightning comes. In fact, I even don't care whether it is lightning or not. Nothing has happened so far for me either. |

I don't know if these are related, but we had a thunderstorm here and some aging power cables underground started arcing and burned up. We lost power in my whole block, and when ConEdison fixed it, I discovered half of the appliances in my apartment were fried. |
