Lightning strikes go well beyond what a surge suppressor can handle. I good lightning strike can jump across several inches and through surge suppressing circuits and even across blown fuses.
If you took a decent lightning strike then your stuff is fried.

I wish I still had this CD ROM drive that I used to show off when lightning came up in conversation. Most of the traces were completely melted off its circuit board... and the computer that it was plugged into was also plugged into a really nice surge suppressor.

I was typing sea when suddenly BANG!  Surge protector ensured nothing shut off but I am now without internet. Could it have gone through the surge protector? My tv server is not on at all. Could the hdmi port have been fried?
