Eagle #1 is correct folks. You can take all the precautions you want via building faraday cages, etc., however the primary risk is an EMP event taking down the nations power grid. An EMP pulse will propagate down power transmission lines, taking down electrical switching stations, transformers, and will likely spike your gear and kill it. Keep in mind America's electrical power transmission and distribution infrastructure is archiac and poorly maintained. One such event (even a significant solar event) and it goes bye bye.
Quoting: OmegaIf it isn't plugged into the grid then the grid shouldn't hurt it. Nothing important should be plugged in when you aren't using it. I have heard of people getting their brains fried talking on the phone when lightening strikes the phone lines. So it just isn't the grid it is any wires coming into your house. .
