First blown fuse in 5 years

I had an SSR powering 15 LED strobes with a few Xenon's in there, and 6 strings of 75ct GE Led's and a ropelight star.
Lost power to it last night after high winds and lot's of rain. The SSRez enclosure was dry as a bone. The fuse looks intact, but it has no continuity and there's a tiny ball near the filament.

Two questions; Doesn't seem like a one time event that let it go correct? Fuse Fatigue? LOL
AND its hard to find 7amp 5x20mm fuses locally. None in Radio Shack's stores, online yes. I saw 6amp on Amazon in bulk. Is 6amp too low?
