Surge Protection Devices are designed to sacrifice themselves in the event of a major transient event in order to prevent damage to the equipment that they were installed to protect. If a Surge Protection Device is subjected to a severe enough transient (surge) within minutes of its installation this may very well be the devices life expectancy. Quality Surge Protection Devices are designed to withstand a certain level of surge activity and still remain within the manufacturers original specifications. Most Surge Protection Devices have a LED Status Indication light that lets the consumer know whether or not the device is operational.

Will a surge protector last longer if it's unplugged from the wall outlet during an electrical storm?
Possibly, but that's kind of missing the whole point of a surge protector. The surge protector exists to protect the things that are plugged into it. If you're not using those devices anyway during the storm, sure, go ahead and unplug the surge protector... but you could also have just unplugged the devices themselves from the wall and not bought a surge protector in the first place. Also, storms don't directly damage surge protectors. Stopping surges damages surge protectors. If there's no surge, it doesn't matter if the surge protector is plugged in or not.
