Question regarding recent storms and home insurance

So with the recent storms and power outages / surges my old (12 year) mini split system has crapped the bed. Totally fried upon close inspection of the inside cards.

This 30,000 BTU unit is something like 5+ grand for a new equivalent.

Would my homeowners insurance cover this?

And if it does how do I go about proving a power surge? Does HECO provide something upon request

Edit: this happened directly after my house got reconnected to the grid a few weeks ago but was only made aware that this *could* be covered recently
