Lightning and power

How is it, I wonder, that every time we have thunderstorm in our area, say daily for much of the summer, there is an excellent chance that there will be a power outage for several hours somewhere around here? Surely having to dispatch power company employees around the state for much of the summer fixing power lines can't make economic sense? Surely there must be a better way to provide power to houses without making it easy for a storm to take out an entire neighbourhood?

Yours, clueless (not powerless, fortunately)
