i live in nw tennessee. we get lots of lightening. because it is a  rural 
area we get line surges from hits several miles away besides the direct strokes.
my utility suggested i purchase a surge protector to be installed directly in 
the meter socket fixture. it was $30 and they installed it  for free when 
they did the final  service drop connection.
i have a local  tva co-op so they are a lot less strident about making a 
profit or forcing too many minor rules. they   were actually helpful not like 
the 
mega-utility i dealt with in chicago.
i do unplug when not in use but so far in 3 yrs no damage. also we get as 
many phone line surges as electric line ones. don't forget the p.c. modem lines 
either
