It can enter a house in a number of ways, ground phone lines, cable tv coax lines, anything electrical connected to the house, old TV antennae can bring it in. If you have expensive gear then invest in a good isolation transformer/s that will handle your entire media system. Upgrade your 60amp panel to 200A modern standards and put s surge protector on critical circuits that service expensive computer, media gear and appliances. Get a surge protector that you can service and replace because the mercury diodes inside absorb the shock and expire afterward. A GFCI is not a surge protector. I've lost an oven element and a TV due to power going on and off. My hi-fi escaped because I have an isolation transformer and a surge protector on it.
I live in a rural area and rural electric co-ops are notorious for on-off spikes after power failures. Ray
