No, since I am not home, but I try to when I am at home.

nope, but I really should. But since it never happened to me I'm riding on my risky luck right now.

I guest if you go on vacation for more then a few days it is worth unplugging everything in your house except for your refridgerator, Digital video recorder, DVR and alarm system since you never know when lightning will strike, or electrical problem like a power surge will happen.

Plus, you save a few cents or dollars by not having vampire electricity suck power from the wall to power the Clock or ON IR sensor button for the remote.
