I don't because I'm in a big building and it's grounded well. The electric shock would never get to me because it wouldn't get past the several grounds. However if it's really popping lighting close by I'll usually un plug the computer.
I will say lighting is nothing to play with. Back before I did websites online I used to install high speed internet. One day I had 1 last job to get done before a storm hit. It was miles off in the distance I'd say at least a min of 5 to 8 miles away.
I climbed up on the telephone poll to hook up the line, just as I was hooking it up, I saw lighting hit at least 3 to 5 miles away then a big ass bang from it and the electricity actually traveled through the line and I got zapped by it. I actually saw a fucking arch of electricity come off the main line to my hand.
Was some scary shit and the hit was at least 3 to 5 miles from where I was at. I was amazed at how fast it traved through the lines because I saw the actual hit and I was shocked by it about the same time I heard the boom from the thunder. Guess that's the speed of light..
