You're lucky in a sense--it could have been so much worse!
Fiber or wireless is definitely a good extra measure, along with offsite backups, and good equipment insurance. Sorry this happened to you, Kier.
I'm using this as a opportunity to audit everything to make sure I don't have any holes in the setup, since it only takes one.

dang must be one gigantic slow moving supercell.
here in east texas i do not remember one single thunderstorm staying over us for 5 or more hours.
much less 12.
we normally have a series of thunderstorms go over us, each lasting from 30 minutes to a little over an hour.
we generally get multiple storm cells passing over us.
yes i played storm watcher for a period of time before health interfered.
if someone had said that storm sytstem went on then that would have been more realistic instead of pointing to one particular cell being static.
A year and a half ago, it wasn't a storm cell, but we had nearly-constant lightning (with light thunder) and on-and-off heavy rain for several hours. I remember because I had to drive home from the hospital to hook up the inverter/generator to keep things going at the house. Going out at 3am for gasoline in pouring rain wasn't exactly a highlight of my week, in other words!
I remember several years ago when I bought some of the original ethernet over power adapters, I think they were only 250Mbps, so pretty poor performance wise.
We had a storm nearby, you could barely hear it, but these devices were apparently very sensitive to any spikes in the grid?
Both of them went bang, one even caught fire, good thing I was awake when it happened.
Luckily it wasn't near anything flammable, but the wall had a nice burn mark going up it!
