 But there is something you can do about it.

 Just surround your house with a Farraday(sp?) cage.
 Get alot of tin foil.
 Wrap it around your house.
 Make sure it's grounded well (try attaching it to your lightning rod).

 Now when the EM pulse hits the tin foil it will be turned into current.
 The current will drain into the ground. And the EM pulse will not continue
 on its way through your house.

That sounds like fun!  I could do it at Christmas time!  =)

Thanks!

Cheers,
