As hams it often comes down to doing what you're comfortable with, 
but...
In 2007 I took a small hit to one of my towers. Lightning jumped a 3 
to 4 foot gap between disconnected coax cables and equipment. It 
also jumped a 3 foot gap between disconnected electrical cords and 
wall receptacles. I picked up charred and smoking pieces of circuit 
boards from the floor after the event.
