Agreed. Having witnessed a strike to our house which hit the gutters only a few dozen feet away (and survived it -- inside), I can say that your best protection is _unplugging_ everything when not in use.
A direct strike arced over GDTs and still fried some of the equipment attached to the coax. This included the the cable modem, whose coax happened to run right beside the HF coax.
