    It's worth the extra effort to unplug them to be cautious, especially if gives you added piece of mind.

    Just came across this thread again at the same time as I am hearing thunder outside, so unplugged one of my pins and double checked that the others were unplugged.
    Thunderstorms are a common occurence in summertime in south Louisiana.

    Yes, it is good to unplug them during thunderstorms.
    If you know you are not going to play your machines for a while, you may want to just go ahead and unplug them even if it is not storming outside at the moment. Lightning strike could happen when you are not home.

    Here is a good vid of lightning strikes.
