I hope so.
Not if you have surge protection...
Lightning knocked out my neighbours TV just because it struck near and the electro-magnetism ruined its circuitry.

it wont blow your brains, (you dont have many) but it WILL destroy your PC
We had a minor power cut. The major appliances switched off for about a second and the little things kept going. :S Nearly shat myself. Saw lightening thro' my window, next momemnt, my comp had turned off...
Lightning struck my school a few years back. It melted the surge protector (must have been really good) all the phone lines, all of the network cables and destroyed part of the roof.
All fun and games.

Your fuse box and some wiring will melt.

Just turned it of in the end and watched sugar rush. My brothers PS2 switched it self on.
A family friend in last Friday's storm heard a noise up staires in his daughters bedroom. No-one was in the house execpt him. He went up stairs to see whats what, opened his daughters bedroom door & most of her electric toys had turned their self on. Freaky! He said it was like something out of a horror film.
