Exactly! All connections that go off the machine would have to be
disconnected. Power cables, modem cables, network cables, USB,
Firewire, everything! And it is best to move the equipment, power
cords, etc a few feet away from any outlet. Lightning can easily
jump from an outlet to a cord on the floor.
Of course, with full backups available, UPS's on every machine (and
the home entertainment system!), and good insurance coverage, I don't
bother with any of that.
