There was a lightening strike close by then power went out immediately.

Yup. Those are the protective devices for downstream loads, like the
transformer that feeds your house. Lightning probably hit your distribution
(11kV) line and caused the interrupter to pop. Circuit breaker is probably more
appropriate than fuse, as it doesn’t consume anything when it fails, it just
opens the circuit.

I did an online outage report online and about 15-20 minutes later I saw a
truck pull up outside and a couple of minutes later the power was back on. The
guy too a long stick and used it to flip something on the pole across the
street and power came back on.

Now that I'm in the boonies, the power is restored faster than it was when
I lived in town - by the same power company. We were without for about 45
minutes this afternoon, thanks to the T-storms.

You need a backup generator more than most since you’re out in the boonies.
