Dennis, I had a similar experience last August.  We took two nearby
lightning strikes 20 days apart.  Lost a lot of equipment, but all damage
seemed to come through the Comcast Xfinity cable (copper, not fiber).  As
part of the recovery, I had a Comcast tech come to the house.  He discovered
that my cable ground was loosely attached to a painted surface. He removed
that one and put on a more substantial one directly to a ground rod.

If you have 2 (or more) ground rods, not bonded together, you are still screwed. Please read K9YC's link, or watch N0AX's CTU presentation on this subject.
