cable modem safety?

[Stephen W]

I have just switched to a Comcast cable modem.  

I live in a lightning rich area (Sarasota, FL USA). 
In the "old days" of dial-up I was careful to always
unplug my modem when I was not using it - especially
in the summer months.

What about cable modems?  Should such precautions be
taken?

Thanks
StephenW
