Weather
On descent and approach in to ZZZ the aircraft was struck by lightning. We obtained a clearance to discontinue the [approach] and proceed to ZZZZZ for the [approach] to ZZZ1. After discussing with Dispatch we learned ZZZ1 lost all power so we decided to make the new divert to KTN. We landed in KTN without further incident.The event in and of itself was not complicated as we did not experience any anomalies with the aircraft after the lightning strike. The situation just became a little more complex when getting several clearances for different divert airports and eventually just heading there to land. Just a good refresher on how fast situations can change in SE with fuel always a major consideration.
Captain reported lightning strike caused a diversion to second alternate due to power failure at first alternate airport.
