Regarding the "double surge protector," keep in mind that surge protectors are built to handle only a specific energy level (in Joules).
Accumulation: A single strong impact or several minor ones can exceed this limit, rendering no further defense.
Linking surge protectors in a chain or using them with UPS systems isn't advised.
Weather conditions certainly pose challenges. But a power surge typically occurs when something like a vehicle strikes a pole, or someone breaks into an underground cable (power or otherwise).
In summary, it seems there was a combination of factors—incorrect wiring, low-quality components, an electrical event, and all leading to a surge reaching the server.
Luckily, perhaps the cable or plug survived the incident.

Make sure to inspect your surge protection and consider device compatibility.
