Unless you want to roll the dice concerning system destruction via a lightning strike, you should at the minimum immediately install a guaranteed surge protector.
Anecdote: A friend of mine in Tampa who sells/installs commercial grade computer systems has seen the destruction of an installation in a high-rise office building where a bolt of lightning struck the glass curtain wall and arced directly to the system...bypassing the surge protector!
An "act of God" if there ever was one.
