Yeah.
I've done tech support for some big bike rides. Flat tires, as you might imagine, are the #1 issue. Broken spokes are #2.

What usually causes that? just being out of alignment?

Poor maintenance, poor initial build of the wheel, bad riding habits, etc, etc. can contribute. Google "broken spoke cause," read about wheel building truing. Much better than the bits and pieces of info you will get from this post.
