Default Lightning damage to USB drives?


Anybody know of a USB flash drive being damaged during a typical
electrical storm or whatever other common electricity surge? (I'm not
talking about a lightning strike close enough to destroy the whole
computer.)

I'm wondering about the possibility that a hard drive and a USB flash
drive could be destroyed at the same time, given the flash drive is
always attached to the USB port, and whether that has in fact ever
happened.

Thank you.
