when theres a surge a large amount of electricy 'overflowing'

Answer 2

I don't understand what you mean when you say there's a surge.

If lightning hits a line, there is an increase in voltage. This is typically referred to as a spike.

If a large load comes on line and the utility has not properly put voltage regulators on that portion of the distribution line, there will be a voltage drop, typically called a dip.
