ELI5: How can the power go out during a storm and then come back the next second?
gpt
Lightning hits an overhead wire, and trips a breaker.  The breakers are auto reset on the first trip, so the lights come back on after a second.  If the fault is gone, like lightning, the power stays on.  If the fault remains, like a tree on the wires, then the power stays off.
