Friggin thunder destroyed my phone system again! Argh!
2nd time this year. The first time, it even killed my 2nd PC because the electric current went through the network cable and killed it...
It also killed a tree in my backyard, but fuck him...

That's why I unplug every cable when a big storm is coming. But sometimes when it want to happen it will , no matter what protections do you have..they can reduce the risk but nobody is 100% safe.

I unplug only my router. All the rest has surge protection.

I have no fucking idea how that's even possible... |
You can install surge protectors in phone lines as well.
Probably lighting strike induced voltage in phone line that was connected to you modem and destroyed it. Especially if you don't have underground phone lines.
The best practice is to unplug power, modem, network, antenna or any other long cable that is plugged into equipment (PC, TV, satellite receiver, etc.). But if lightning strikes close enough nothing will save your equipment.

Phone lines? What is that? All we got here are underground wiring and cable and satellite. Never heard of phone lines or seen telephone poles in quite some time.
