Are all the dead circuits on the same side of the breaker box

From the Original Post:

the non-working circuits are on both sides of the panels

A lost neutral will effect both sides of the breaker box. Call the power company.

One last update in case anyone was wondering what caused the my dad's main breaker to go bad. I was talking to him last and he mentioned the next door neighbors came down a few days ago to find all the breakers on their electrical panel were blown. He then tells me about a lightning strike a few days before that was the loudest he had every heard.

That's when I asked if that lightning strike was before or after his own electrical issues. It was before. He's got a whole house surge protector wired into the panel, so that probably did some good. The fridge compressor went a day or two later. I'm going to guess the lightning took out the main breaker and his fridge.
