It's severe storm time in the Southern plains and, while I've taken, and am 
still taking, steps to protect my shack from lightning damage, I began to 
wonder...

I always disconnect all transmission and control lines from equipment, but what 
should I do with them after that? Should I make connectors so that I connect 
everything to the station earth ground or should I let them float? Especially 
if I disconnect all *equipment* from earth ground, should I still connect all 
transmission and control lines that enter the shack to earth ground when I'm 
not operating?
