Since your power was turned back on within a second or 2, it was most likly an automatic reclose that brought it back, automatic recloses are usually in place to "pop" a tree off a line, and they work. If the tree was close by your house, it may have been able to show up as ground current in your house for only a the 1-2 cycles before the fault was cleared off the power line. Usually doesn't happen since there's usually many houses fed by the same circuit, and odd's of the tree being close to enough to yours is slim.
