> Any suggestions on what to do next?
IMMEDIATELY turn off the power at the main circuit breaker.
NEXT, get a registered/bonded electrician to thoroughly inspect and test your building's power feed, its circuits, its grounding, and its surge protection equipment.
Until you do this, your building is a fire trap waiting to strike.
The building's surge/overvoltage protective devices should all be replaced, or some installed if there weren't any.
Some or all of the wiring may need to be replaced if its insulation was crisped.
Next, get all your electrical appliances checked for safety.
