Lightning tripping circuit breaker

[tp4tissue]

the lightning didn't hit the house, it wasn't very close.. 

WHY did it trip the breaker?

I've put it back on during the storm.. it will still trip when a larger lightning strike hits.. (BUT none of which hit this house)

Maybe it hit some of the electrical infrastructure and traveled along it to your house.

Yea I think that's it..  I looked up the specs on the devices that are in this box...  < 32Amps on input..  so the lightning is tripping the input protection.
