Lightning damage to USB drives?

I had a lightning strike near the house and it blew out several
things in four houses total, mine got the worse of it.
However, my computer was on a UPS and the network connection went to a
router then to the modem.
The UPS, cable modem, and router were fried (along with other things
in the house) but the computer itself was unaffected.
So, I doubt a normal electrical storm, etc. would blow out a drive or
USB drive.
Pity about those used without a UPS.
