Well how did some appliances get zapped and others did not. I am perplexed at how things that were plugged into a Belkin surge protector were destroyed but other appliances plugged directly into the wall were not affected.

Me too. How bad did you get hit?
I lost three cable boxes, home telephone system, Wifi router, PlayStation, sofa recliners, love seat recliners.
All in all it could have been worse. I just got a new 65 inch TV for Fathers Day and we recently bought a brand new washer / dryer set and refrigerator. Also thank God it did not take out my central AC.

camera system, tv, directv box, outside lights,alarm system, and an ipad charger. It fried my 3 way industrial GFCI. Tripped all the GFCI outlets in the house but i was able to reset them thankfully.

Sucks man. There was no mention of this on Next Door so I was wondering if this only affected me in the neighborhood.

It may be possible that you lost a phase coming into your house. Easy way to figure it out is if your A/C works then it is okay. Just something to check because that is what it sounds like
