My xfinity gateway got fried by lightning

Hello, there was a huge lightning strike in my front yard just now and my xfinity gateway is not working anymore, no lights, I unplugged and then plugged in a working power outlet and there's nothing it's completely fried. What to do and who to call to pick up a replacement

... What to do ...

The troubleshooting link posted is unnecessary: if the device is dead when plugged in to a known working outlet, it has failed and needs to be replaced. The quickest way to do that is to swap it out. See https://www.xfinity.com/support/service-center-locations for the locations of Service Centers and Xfinity Stores to do that.
