There are lots of causes - a short in your home (breaker went, or fuse went to clear the fault), temporary overload (something using lots of power turned on), a short on the electric system outside your home (breakers or fuses may have operated), overload on the system, sudden loss of generation capacity, icing, faulty equipment (perhaps an LTC went haywire), etc.
