You shouldn't have left it outside during a storm should you? 
Seriously, I've never been in this position but this is what I'd do..
1. If the modem is gubbed, bin it.
2. Run scandisk and defrag.
3. The utilities that don't operate properly uninstall and reinstall the software.
4. If you've still got problems, format and reinstall OS.
5. Finally once everything is back to normal buy new modem.
