A 330 has 4 backup AC generators and 1 DC generator.

It would have to be something very serious to lose all electrical systems. the 330 is a FBW airfract meaning it uses computers to fly instead of pilots having actual control. 4 electrical systems and the hydraulics would have had to all fail for the pilots to lose control.

This has to be something structual that happened durring the storm. Its unlikely that lightening caused this but there isnt alot of other options. Yes strikes happen frequently, however when they do if over land, emergency landing procedures are taken.
