Do you still have the card? If so, have you tried re-importing?

What version of FCPX are you running?

After I imported the footage I cleared the card. Then when I went to import more footage. Thats when the computer got unplugged. It like deleted the footage from the event. Pretty sure im running on the latest version.

Is your library on your boot drive? If it is, the library will be in Movies in your Home folder. In the Finder navigate to that location. Right click on the library and choose Show Package Contents. You should see at least one event folder inside and hopefully one of them is the event you're interested in. Open that folder. There should be a folder named Original Media. Open that folder. Are your clips inside?

When you import you are presented with a dialogue. Did you choose Leave Files in Place or Copy Files?

Actually you would not have had the option if you were importing from the camera. Now that I think about.
