Neighbor's outdoor outlet sparked during the storm last night.

Makes me wonder if GFCI outlets are common in older homes.

Yikes, that's scary and points right to your question. Older homes rarely had GFCI outlets installed, especially outdoors where they're most needed. Have you checked if your own outdoor plugs are protected?

Actually older homes often had them added during renovations.
