I doubt it was introduced via an actual
piece of coax/twisted-pair (dsl) or ethernet anyways, probably
more a surge in the power lines themselves, and some devices
reacted more adversely than others. Could have just been akin to
an electromagnetic pulse being released as well, or striking a
transformer much the same tends to wreak havoc on things not
particularly shielded to EMI.
Did you have some sort of surge suppression on your systems? Mind
you, most are likely "surge suppressor" in marketing, I doubt much
of the cheap chinese crap they produce these days do little to
suppress anything if actually tested, why I tend to just use a
decent ups on gaggles of technology around my house. Cheap enough
to buy used (craigslist, ebay), and refurb yourself with new
batteries if you can operate a screwdriver.

I just realized something. The surge had to jump
two devices to get to my computer! (modem/router connected to a
router (using as switch) connected to the computer).

Poor grounding and circuit isolation. Probably more

Yeah.... I was on my computer during
a thunder storm. Bad boy! I fried my NIC. Why I am
telling you this is the surge went through the
modem and fried my NIC. How did it bypass the
modem? (for more info: http://thesimplefromthesimple.blogspot.com/2015/06/toast.html
