Fortunately my Android phone still works so I can reply with it. However somebody else might need to take over these tutorials.

By some miracle it looks like one of the NAS hard drives for the music library survived with all data intact. The only problem is, the partition was accidently deleted but not reformatted over. So right now I'm running scans of the drive and it looks like all the files are intact and can be recovered. I'll know for sure by tomorrow morning after the scan finishes. If it's verified everything's there, I'm going shopping for 4TB hard drives and I'll use one to recover the data and the others as offline backups. Other than that, the lightning strike fried the motherboard* and my graphics card* and my NAS and its hard drives... except the one. I believe the CPU, RAM, SSDs and power supply are alright so I rebuild a temp PC using them and an old but semi-broken motherboard that still works to use as I work on replacing everything. If the data is recovered and I'm back in business, one of the first things I'll do is stop using wired ethernet for the NAS and computer.
As long as I can recover the music library, I don't really care for the other stuff - they can easily be replaced. Hopefully the bullet there has been dodged.
* Both are ASUS and my God ASUS has one of the worst RMA procedures there is, UGH. I'll just buy new ones.
