I keep seeing videos of people coming home to a burst pipe or the neighbors above them having a flood. The water pours down from the ceiling and from the light fixtures (lights are on), but the people walking around the house don’t get electrocuted.

If the water got into the outlets and bridged the connection, it would trip the circuit breaker, which would kill the power.
Lighting circuits are usually dedicated so you can have the lights one, since those would not have tripped, but the outlet circuits would have tripped, assuming the water shorted the positive and negative together.
