gfci outlet not working

Storm went through a few nites ago and the GFCI in kitchen pop. This GFCI has three loads and the phone is connected to the GFCI. outlet. if I have the loads on it will blow the breaker in the elec. box. I have checked the three outlets and fine no problems with them. If I connect only the two wires I have power in in the GFCI. whats going on These are all only about a year and half old. Working fine until now. Nothing else was effect in the house. We have one other GFCI in our bathroom and its good.

Will the breaker reset with the 3 loads disconnected? If so plug one load in at a time and see what happens.

test the breaker and circuit by removing the GFCI outlet...........wirenut the blacks, and the whites, and the grounds.............

unplug the phone...........will the breaker hold........

if it does .plug in a load....................if the breaker holds i would change the GFCI outlet
