Usually yes, assuming that the circuit your house is powered on doesn't take a direct lightning strike, or the power plant itself isn't hit you will be fine. However you are taking a risk. Surge suppressors WILL NOT save you from a direct strike at all, and only the very good ones will help vs. a "brown-out"(where you lose power slowly which is pretty bad for electronics too). That being said I usually take my chances when a storm is coming in, but I know that if my computer fries I only have myself to blame. You heard the saying don't use an umbrella during a thunderstorm. the reason being that the sky has tremendously charged particles expecting to discharged as soon as the path can be ascertain either to ground or another cloud, BY pointing an umbrella skyward you are inviting a discharge though the umbrella So pointing an antenna skyward will accomplish the same. ZAP.
