Storms can cause power surges. This is when fluctuations in the power grid cause overvoltages, or sparks at sub stations do the same. Surge protectors between your outlets and your electronics help prevent them from being fried, and circuit breakers can help to some degree, but aren't adequate to protect from surges.

Surge protection, proper grounding, TVS arc arrestors
