Hope to here in the beginning of next week if my insurance pays for it.

I've never heard of a 'floating zero' but if you mean you had 380V instead of 240V because you got two phases rather than a phase and a zero then it's not like a lightning strike. Both will wreck your power supply but the very high voltage of a lightning strike can cause damage to components that will appear way down the track.
Just to be clear, a lightning strike is rarely a strike in the wires of your house. If it was you would know about it; everything will melt. Most 'strikes' are lightning hitting somewhere in close vicinity to your house and the massive magnetic field will create a current surge through your wiring and everything attached. It's impossible to predict the long term damage done in the short term, therefore I wouldn't repair it. If the 'floating zero' means you just had too high a voltage for a while it's likely to have just blown some bits and pieces in the power supply and repair is fine.
Good luck with it!
