My question is we had a severe outage in the area today(fiber line cut) and my modem was on with just the one light blinking and then all the sudden all the lights started blinking like it was fried.
All lights? There aren't that many on a modem.
The most important LED is the Power one.
Manuals are always a good place to start.
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Check the section in the manual Troubleshoot With the LEDs.
If the power LED isn't Solid White, as expected, that is usually a sign of broken firmware.
With routers, there are ways of recovering the device with a firmware reflash with "TFTP". Unfortunately, cable modems don't have the same access to the firmware. Only the ISP can update them. I know nothing about the recovery process for cable modems.
So your "like it was fried" theory may well be correct.
If you want to look for other suggestions, then you could try the section dedicated to cable modems, rather than this "routers" zone.
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Cable Modems & Routers
You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.
I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
