Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Lightning strike(?) took out power across the street
We were having dinner at the in-laws' last night for Lou's birthday. They were just about to start cooking when there was a rumble and everything shut off. Looks like the transformer at the end of the street went bye-bye. They crashed on our couches because our A/C is still on.

Now I think that if it had been lightning they would have heard a bang. It was probably just overloaded from everyone having their A/C on, and cooking dinner at the same time.

Just got up (8 a.m.) and power is back on.
