yes. any electronic gear is penchant for damage eg computer controlled washing machines.

exspecially modems and anything connected to phone lines. there designed to work with low voltages. a 1000 volt strike will easly do damage while gear designed for 240 volts will cope better with a 1000 volt strike.
