Did Irma Wreck the Rigging?

I wasn't there to see the 100 knot gusts hammer my boat. I see the sunken boats all over the marina and I have a two-foot-long hole at my hull-deck joint where the boat hammered a piling while apparently displacing my carefully-arranged fenderboard. GEICO has been great so far re. repair.

I can see that my Genoa halyard is frayed at one of the lower spreaders and I will replace it. My question to you old salts is: "Should I replace all of my running rigging after what it has been through?" My brand-new dock lines are as stiff in places as a pool cue from incredible loads. While the running rigging did not support the weight of the boat they were subjected to huge winds and, I assume, vibration.

Should I be concerned about the standing rigging? The mast and boom?

Thanks for your thoughts
