Is it weather related?

I hate being on the edge of an outage. We live at the end (beginning?) of a fairly short line, and it isn’t unusual to have the house next door have power while we do not.

Hope yours comes back on soon!

PNW is seeing temps above average this month. I’m seriously considering planting my tomatoes at the end of the month. We are quickly approaching 50 degree nights.

Stay warm and safe!

in fan speed woke me up as the power flickered this morning. Whenever the power goes down, I wonder about Russia or Iran or some other hostile, and how big.

had a tornado warning about an hour ago, lasted about 30 minutes. Last year we had 2 lightning strikes within a week that reeked havoc on our electronics (had two replace a TV, computer, and PS4).

Hopefully, Dominion will get it back up soon.

Area having problems connecting to cable box. Rebooted by me and the company several times. For a while it would stay on. They seem to be working on it.

Forgot to mention in my previous post, we had to replace the Cox equipment twice when we had those lightning strikes. We've also been having weird issues with landline calls dropping suddenly (one side can't hear the other) with Cox. Hope they fix that too (if it's them), lol.

Bad storm and high winds now.
