Considering the number of lightning strikes on or near power lines, power going out as a result of one is actually quite rare. ... Actual outages due to lightning are actually more likely due to lightning making a tree branch fall accross a intermediate feeder line, which then shorts the line and causes a breaker to trip.Jun 26, 2012
