Surge protectors dont help in this situation....

Good ones may help. They fry themselves before the surge hits your devices. Nope, there is no surge from outside to protect if it was not a direct hit.
If it is an EMP, the individual electronics gets affected, with a potential surge generated by your internal wiring. It does depend on the strength and the distance of the lighting strike. Surge protectors would be totally useless in that scenario.
And this has all the symptoms of the EMP, not a direct strike...

Surge protectors work. My building has had electrical problems for years that trigger surges. I've lost two surge protectors that cooked themselves to save my equipment.

Again, not when you get hit with EMP....
