That sucks. I have a half dozen APC heavy battery backups/surge protectors for my computers and they definitely help during power surges. I also have had all the outlets in my house properly grounded and polarity corrected since it seems like most houses and apartments here in Florida are wired backwards and/or not grounded. I'm getting my electrician to install another layer protection at the power box just to be extra safe. Data backups in a separate location not connected to the network are key as well just in case a direct lightning strike fries all of that.
