Default radios & electronics, lightning protection

i am curious what you do for lightning protection to keep your boat's
electronics from getting zapped in the middle of the big ocean. i know
you can install lightning protection into the boat, that is, basically
a lightning rod and ground plate, etc, but that wasn't really what i
was wondering. what i am curious about is do you have some kind of
procedures you go through when a storm approaches that has a lot of
crackle in it, some procedures for disconnecting sensitive electronics
or somehow disengaging them from the boat's electrical system so that
they won't suffer if the boat gets hit ? i guess that might be
non-sense since stormy times are exactly when you most rely on a lot of
those electronics but i thought i would ask. i was just curious.
